Rascal, Hoveround and other  similar scooters are generally Dr. prescribed. 
I don't see how they could  turn them down.  "Americans With Disabilities

That's  not exactly true I couldn't get my wheel chair though the insurance 
and  government program because you have to need it to get around your house to 
 qualify.  Since I can walk some I don't, so I had to buy mine outright  
Luckily I was able to get one in the paper for next to nothing.  I know a  lot of 
people who are in the same situation. They really don't like rascals and  such 
as most people use them for going to the market or fairs and tractor shows  
that require a lot of walking.  Funny I do better walking outside on the  grass 
than I do in the house on the hard floor. I guess that is why the doctors  
say I have an UNKOWN Neurological disease
