Is Vital Care USA an authorized dealer?

Yes, 100% authorized. Vital Care USA partners directly with trusted U.S. manufacturers and distributors. Every product includes the full manufacturer warranty and is shipped brand new unless clearly stated otherwise. Your purchase is always protected.

Are products brand new and factory sealed?

Every item we ship is brand new in original factory packaging unless the product title specifically notes "Certified Pre-Owned" or "Open Box." All standard accessories, manuals, and warranty documentation are included.

You can also review our easy, customer-friendly return policy if you have questions about returns or eligibility.

Do you accept HSA or FSA cards?

Yes! Most mobility equipment, lift chairs, and scooters qualify as eligible expenses under HSA and FSA plans. Simply use your HSA/FSA card at checkout just like a regular debit or credit card.

If you have questions about eligibility for a specific product, give us a call and we'll help you figure it out.

Does insurance or Medicare cover this?

Most online purchases of mobility equipment are not covered by Medicare or private insurance when bought outright. Coverage is typically tied to local in-network rental or DME supplier programs.

Many customers still choose to buy directly because it gives them:

  • Full ownership of their equipment from day one
  • No rental restrictions or returns
  • Freedom to choose exactly the model they want
  • HSA/FSA eligible for tax-advantaged savings
When will my order ship?

Most in-stock items ship within 1 to 3 business days after your order is confirmed. Tracking is sent automatically by email.

Some larger items like lift chairs and power wheelchairs may ship via freight carrier with scheduled delivery. We'll keep you updated every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between the 18-inch and 20-inch seat width?
The 18-inch Medium seat works well for most average-sized adults, while the 20-inch Large seat is better for those who need a bit more room. To find the right fit, measure the widest part of the user's hips while seated and add about one inch on each side for comfort. If you are unsure, our team is happy to help you choose the right size.
Does this wheelchair come fully assembled?
Yes, the STRONGBACK Excursion 12+AB arrives completely assembled and ready to use right out of the box. Simply unfold the wheelchair, snap the push handles into place, and swing the footrests into position. No tools are needed for setup.
Can this wheelchair be used as a car seat during travel?
No, this wheelchair is not intended as a substitute for a car seat. The user must transfer to a proper vehicle seat before the car begins moving. When transporting the wheelchair in a vehicle, fold it up and secure it in the trunk or cargo area. Never place the wheelchair on the passenger seat.
Is this wheelchair covered by insurance, Medicare, or HSA/FSA?
Transport wheelchairs may be eligible for reimbursement through HSA or FSA accounts. Medicare and private insurance coverage varies depending on your plan and medical needs. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to check your specific benefits. Our team can also help answer questions about reimbursement options.
How does the adjustable backrest work?
The backrest uses Velcro flaps that you can open and adjust to change the level and position of lumbar support. You can make the support higher, lower, firmer, or softer depending on your comfort needs. The backrest comes pre-set for most users, but it is easy to customize without any special tools. The user manual includes step-by-step instructions for each adjustment.
