Medicare Grants for Help Funding Wheelchair Vans

Medicare was created by the US government to help not only senior citizens, but disabled persons as well with their medical needs. Funding is provided by Medicare on a state-by-state basis.

There are also other organizations out there that are willing to help. Listed below are just a few national organizations to help fund a handicap van. For more financing options such as grants, loans, and other help funding, visit our mobility finance information page.
