Depends on your insurance company... give them a call and have them check and see if Sportaid is in network or not.

Yea check with your insurance and see, also might check with Department of Vocation Rehab, although they normally need to have a open case on your for helping to find a job or going back to school. I'm working with them right now to get a new chair, they are also paying for me to get new glass's since mine are 6 years old.
