CMEDS Repair Form has been updated
Just an FYI we made an update to the CMEDS forms:
“Batteries have a useful life of 35 years. As such, one battery change every 2 years is covered under CMEDS. In the event the batteries become discharged due to lack of charging (ie. powerchair not used over summer), CMEDS will not cover this and alternative funding will be required.”
Quick Reminder
Please note that per the MCFD Car Seats can NEVER be recycled as per Transport Canada. With these items we would not know if the unit had been in a car accident (even if family states it has not) so we cannot recycle.
