“Support Team very helpful”

Jeffrey L.
9/10/24

The support team answered questions about Medicare, private insurance, a HoverLift and called my pcp and setup a mobility evaluation for me. They had to transfer me to different people and never dropped the call once.

“Pest”

Janette S.
7/22/24

The person who spoke to me wanting to know if I have heard anything from the doctor or physical therapy department. She said she couldn't get hold of either place. I told her perhaps she should try after lunch. I had to hang up on her. They kept calling me. I have no answers for you. It seems I have to do every bodies job. I am 66, disabled and tired of it. If my doctor doesn't do her job, I will fire her and start the process over with a new clinic.

Since 2018 that had the first power chair from you, I had been very satisfied with that chair at that time. I lost the chair and also a mistake with the health insurance that I had at that time and also, eventually was stole from my disease. At tis time, I have the need of having a chair now, again, because I lost my left leg below the knee. It's very difficult to have balance yet, so that's why I need a chair that I can lift to the height of washing diishes and cook.

Thank you

I recently called for a remote hoveround wheelchair, it was me who couldn't seal the deal. Now is not the right time for me. I need one too very badly. I fall all the time, in walking i get nervous and shaky i fall. I fall a lot all the time. Sometimes i do not get a warning at all, i just fall. I am scared i might break a bone, like my hip, pelvis or tail bone. Bad timing that's my issue.
Sincerly,
Ruby

I bought a hoveround MVP5 it was supposed to have 5 year warranty, ( didn't) the back wheel caster broke only 1 year and 11 days later and we found out it was not under warranty, after several phone calls with some very rude customer service people and going round and round with them for 5 months I ended up fixing my power chair. They said it was the insurance and my insurance said it was hoveround and they had sent what they needed, they don't loan you a chair if yours is broke until it's fixed and all I was told was he was sorry but. I would never buy from them again. I am an amputee and have to have a power chair so this is unacceptable. I made a report to BBB on this.

I have not heard back from Hoveround. I talked on phone and they said would get back to me. Have not heard back to get my new hoveround because warranty has ran out on mine.

One agent would explain a procedure and I would pass it along to my primary. Then another agent would call asking a question regarding dates for assessment and I told them - physical therapy July 11 and primary July 26. That same day or next day another agent calls to see how assessment went! I told them I had said it was not until the 11th. They thought it had been in June! That was a regular appointment with my primary. Then I'm told the process includes steps they neglected to tell me before so I had not given my primary correct information. It was like they were trying to hide something from me. One day they needed to call and confirm my appt on the 26th with my primary and said I had to stay on the line. Then I found out there was no need for me to stay on the phone. Made me mad.
I have no idea what an order ID is. I have also received an email from Hoveround telling me I have a message to check regarding an inquiry by going to the My.Hoveround.com portal. I had no idea what that was and no instructions. I found out I needed to go to Hoveround.com and create my account. However, there wasn't anything there for that either. Needless to say, I'm not impressed with Hoveround Customer Service.

I called in regards to replacing my current MPV5 Hoveround that is 13 years old. I spoke to a representative that contacted my doctor and explained all the information that was needed to complete the replacement order. I called back the next day late afternoon and was told the insurance that I have you do not except. Not only did you waste my time you wasted the doctor's time as well. Why did I not get a call from Hoveround letting me know about the insurance policy before we set up appointments with doctors?

Their ability to deliver needs a major improvement! Many calls made and still no chair! The only chair they produce is a musical chair!

At the first contact with HOVEROUND, they asked a lot of questions. They then instructed me to get in contact with my doctor and get an appointment with him to fulfill their inquiry as to 'why I required a power chair. I attended my appointment and responded to all the questions and requirements my doctor stated I needed to be eligible to further process my need and request for a power chair. After all of this scrutinization, they sent me a letter; denying me a power chair, because they do not operate in Arizona and they do not deal with Cigna. All such wasted precious time and energy.

GOT A LETTER FROM JENNIFER ASTACIO TWO DAYS AFTER MY DELIVERY. SAYING THAT UNLESS SHE HEARD FROM ME THAT YOU MAY NOT HELP WITH THE DELIVERY! THIS IS A TYPICAL REACTION FROM HOVAROUND A DAY LATE AND A REACTION SHORT. I HAVE CALLED OVER 3 DOZEN TIMES IN 4 MONTHS AND SDPOKEN TO 14 DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH LITTLE REACTION, I NEVER RECEIVED A DIRECT RESPONSE. ALWAYS SHIFTING RESPONSIBILITY ONTO THE DOCTOR. IT IS AMAZING YOU ARE STILL IN BUSINESS.

From the business

Hoveround specializes in manufacturing and distribution high-quality power wheelchairs, scooters, vehicle lifts, ramps, accessories and other products that aid personal mobility. Hoveround accepts Medicare and most private insurance.

Business History

It started with a vision... and Hoveround president and founder Tom Kruse has seen this vision come to life. Hoveround power chairs can easily maneuver in the tight spaces other power chairs and scooters just can’t, allowing users the freedom to live independently and stay in their homes.

After 25 years, Hoveround Corporation has become the largest direct-to-consumer manufacturer of the most maneuverable, reliable, and compact power chairs available in the United States. The company’s mission — to improve the quality of life for people with restricted mobility — continues unchanged to this day.

Hoveround’s continued success stems from what Kruse calls our “Model of Total Responsibility"
- We are 100% accountable for the quality and reliability of our products
- We control the manufacture, design, delivery, and service of all Hoveround power chairs
- We focus our complete attention on serving the mobility needs of our clients
- We are committed to providing state-of-the-art innovations and best-in-class service
- We are never satisfied and continually research new and better ways to enhance the quality of life of our clients so that they may have the means to fuller, richer experiences through improved mobility
