I got my custom chair paid for by insurance. You need a prescription for insurance to pay, at least in the US

Agreed, in the US, lots of our churches, charity groups, and even some hospital associated groups. Also, if your doctor writes a prescription, durable medical equipnent is covered by insurance.
