Your Case Manager is Important
Catastrophic Claims Managers. Life Care Planners. Trust Officers. Discharge Planners. Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors. These people (lumped under the umbrella title "Case Manager") have a keen interest in your personal welfare, both today and for your future.
On Your Side Based on our experience, most case managers are "on your side." Remember, it is their job to improve and increase your health and independence while at the same time receiving optimum value for any dollars being invested on your behalf. Sometimes this is a fine line to successfully walk. But it does not mean case managers cannot, at the same time, be your friend. In our opinion, most case managers are indeed looking out for their clients' best interests.
If your case manager is hesitant when you mention "standing" in a SuperStand Standing Wheelchair, it may just be due to a low level of familiarity with our products and their benefits. Be assured that we meet with catastrophic claims managers, life care planners, trust officers, discharge planners, and vocational rehabilitation counselors on a frequent basis. We have found these professionals to have a real thirst for knowledge and information regarding the benefits of passive standing and our standing wheelchairs.
Lower Costs Means Big SavingsCase managers understand the financial ramifications of standing. The reduction (or elimination) of skin breakdown, chronic urinary tract infections, spasticity interventions or medications, and a host of other health complications can translate into huge cost savings for the companies they represent. Lower medication costs, less hospital time, lower therapy expenditures...they add up to big savings.
Plus a SuperStand Standing Wheelchair can result in cost savings regarding home modifications and personal assistance needs. Less need for a custom home.
Standing, initially, may be a few more dollars, but it certainly is not a luxury. Case managers know how repeated standing can improve self-esteem, self-worth, and attitude. Greater independence, face-to-face interaction, and a better quality of life is pretty heady stuff for a wheelchair user.
A "Win-Win" SituationIt's easy to see how standing in our SuperStand Standing Wheelchair becomes a "win-win" situation in terms of better physical health for the user and increased cost containment for your catastrophic claims manager, life care planner, trust officer, discharge planner, or vocational rehabilitation counselor.

| What our users have to say... |
The Superstand Wheelchair offered our son the chance to go forward with his life, to be able to do more of the things he enjoyed and cared about.
During the last three (3) years Jack has had the opportunity to be self-sufficient and healthier by standing.
