Hi Jack,

A couple months back I got a new Quickie GPV and Jay2 cushion through Medicare. I know it's 5 years for a chair but when I called I forgot to ask how long between cushions. My old Jay2 gave out about a week before I got my new one... what perfect timing. That old thing lasted a bit over 5 years.... since I got it around the same time I got my last chair.

Give 'em a call at 1-800-MEDICAR(E) and ask. Sorry I didn't ask when I had the lady on the phone.
