We accept payment from a vast number of payer sources, including Medicaid and Medicare. For specific insurance-related questions, please contact your closest NSM branch.

At NSM, we are uniquely positioned to search hundreds of sources for the precise components needed to create a chair that is made specifically to meet the needs of each client. Each chair can be designed for maximum comfort and ease and will provide the specific therapeutic benefits prescribed for you by the health care team. But what really sets NSM apart is our approach. We work from the heart, honoring your journey of independence with efficient, friendly attention that puts your interests first. This is our life’s work—to help others move through life—and we take it very seriously.

Definitely. A standard or not customized chair can cause more harm than good. People come in all shapes and sizes; their chairs must be designed to fit them. In severe situations, a standard or not customized chair may:

• Cause significant physiological and psychological problems
• Lead to an increase in dependence because it’s not used due to lack of comfort
• Cause pressure sores, or decubitus, due to improper cushioning
• Become obsolete quickly if not configured to “grow with the child”
• Become a major expense to replace or reconfigure, because most funding sources will only reimburse for a new chair every five years.
