When ADP sets the ADP price for each mobility aid, they take into account:

Manufacturer’s and/or distributor’s costs
Complexity of device

A business can’t charge you more than the ADP price for the approved device.

You have to pay for additional items not covered by the ADP
(e.g. add-on accessories, batteries for power wheelchairs, etc.) 

A formal Assessment by an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist
registered as an ADP Authorizer is required. 

(Fee for Assessment to be paid directly to Therapist)

This will confirm that you need a mobility aid and determine which type best suits your needs.

ADP Application must be completed by you and your Therapist.

We Comfort Mobility Inc. will then fill your prescription based on the Therapist's application.

 ADP aims to review your application within eight weeks of receiving it.

If you order or buy the mobility aid(s) before we have completed our review, and your application is denied, you are responsible for the full cost.

If your application has been denied, you will receive a letter from us telling you the reason for the denial and how you can follow up, including appealing our decision.

If your application is approved, ADP will contact your vendor and Occupational Therapist/Physiotherapist by mail. They will contact you and arrange a time for your mobility aid to be delivered if it has not already been provided.

When you get the mobility aid(s), you must pay your 25% share. We pay the vendor the 75% separately.
