Does anyone have a Dalton HP 7 RT? If sopro's and Con's would be greatly appreciated. Although kinda late because they are delivering it Thursday but nonetheless there may be some issues i can have them correct before delivery.

Any comments are welcome. - Thank you in advance. - KK

I dont think thats even an actual model of power chair? Ive never heard of it and when I googled it nothing showed. How did you get approved for an electric chair so fast? My chair has taken months for approval, manufactoring and delivery

However there is a TACAHE HP7RT

Here is a link to it. http://www.daltonmed...2630&p_id=HP7RT As far as how long it took, well I was just very persistant and explained with my job it is necessary to be able to go to meetings or ultimately I would have to discontinue my contracts which would include penality fees for cancellation if I can not find someone to take my place. I have been working with my Insurance person who happens to be the one that approves or disapproves claims. All I can say is God is watching over me.

Id love to have your insurance then... becuase I know mine will only allow you to get a new chair every 4 years. as do most. And youve been injured only a little over a year...

I think it would be safe to say that God is definitely watching over your medical supplier!..... $14000+ for that wheelchair is an insane amount of money! If it contains $2000 worth of parts and labour I would be amazed. The greed of this industry never ceases to amaze me.
