Frequently Asked Questions
What rise (step height) does this ramp cover?
Using the ADA 1:12 slope, each foot of ramp covers 1 inch of rise. A 6ft ramp covers up to 6" of rise (single step), 10ft covers up to 10" (standard porch), 12ft covers up to 12", and so on up to 30ft. If you're unsure, call or text us at (567) 320-2159 and we'll help you measure.
Does Medicare or insurance cover this ramp?
Original Medicare generally does not cover wheelchair ramps (they're classified as home modifications, not DME). However, several funding pathways may apply depending on your situation and eligibility:
• Medicare Advantage (Part C): Some plans may cover ramps as supplemental benefits, often with prior authorization.
• Medicaid HCBS Waivers: Some state waiver programs may cover home modifications including ramps for eligible participants.
• VA Grants: Qualifying veterans may be eligible for home improvement grants such as HISA — ask your VA social worker.
• HSA / FSA: May be an eligible expense depending on your plan.
We can't promise approval under any program, but we provide detailed invoices suitable for reimbursement claims. See our Payment Options page or call (567) 320-2159 for help navigating funding.
