Community Equipment Prescriptions

Posted on March 28, 2011 by nigel

Additional Aids Mobility are fully accredited to accept prescriptions for you to redeem against simple aids for daily living. You might be able to receive a prescription from your local borough.

Here are some frequently asked questions you might have:

Customers Questions and Answers

1. I am finding it hard to cope with tasks like getting dressed and showering. What happens if I ask for help?

The first step will be an assessment. The professional carrying out the assessment will talk through with you what you would like to achieve and what equipment can help you to achieve it. If you agree that the equipment could help you out, a prescription is issued. You can then take it to accredited retailers like us and exchange it for the prescribed item.

2. Who do I contact if I need equipment or advice?

You need to contact your GP, Community Nurse, other health care professional or someone in Social Services. They can arrange for you to have an assessment to ascertain your individual needs. Unfortunately, we cannot issue you with a prescription.

3. Where do I go to exchange my prescription?

When given your prescription, you will be given a list of accredited retailers in your area. You take your prescription along to any of the retailers who will provide the equipment in exchange for the prescription.

4. How do I redeem my prescription?

It is very simple to redeem your prescription. Bring the ‘Yellow’ copy of your prescription to us and we can redeem the item for you. A family member or friend can do this for you and they will have to sign a form to say that they have collected the item on your behalf. We may have to order the item in for you but as soon as it arrives, we will contact you.

5. I am housebound. How can I get my equipment?

At the point of assessment, if it is clear that you are not able to go to accredited retailers to choose your equipment then the assessor will prescribe delivery of the item as well. Call us on 020 8755 0022 to order you item and arrange for a convenient time for delivery.

6. What if I find something else I prefer, at the accredited retailer? Will I be able to use my prescription?

If you find something else i.e. a piece of equipment which has the same function as the prescribed item and differs only in look and feel, then you can exchange your prescription for it. If the item is more expensive than the one that was originally prescribed, you will need to pay the difference between the prescription value and that of the item you have chosen. You cannot exchange your prescription for equipment that is functionally different to the item prescribed or for medication or therapy. Most of the items available through prescriptions can be found in our catalogue which you can download from here http://www.aamobility.co.uk/aamobility-2011.pdf

7. When I have finished with the equipment, do I have to give it back?

No. If you are given a prescription for your equipment, then it belongs to you. When you have finished with it, you may choose to recycle it via your local recycling facilities.

If you need any further help, advice or if you need to redeem your prescription, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
