Minnesota families looking for adaptive mobility equipment often face one major question:
At xROVER USA, we understand that adaptive outdoor mobility equipment can be a significant investment. Many families explore a combination of Minnesota Medical Assistance (Medicaid), Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waivers, assistive technology programs, nonprofit organizations, community fundraising, financing, and physician-supported medical documentation.
Below are three Minnesota resources that may help families seeking funding for adaptive equipment, mobility devices, pediatric equipment, or assistive technology.
xROVER USA does not guarantee funding approval, but we are happy to help families prepare supporting documentation including product quotations, technical data sheets, Letters of Medical Necessity (LMN), Clinical Benefits & Medical Justification Guides, and personalized equipment recommendations.
Best for: Assistive technology guidance, equipment demonstrations, device loans, equipment reuse, funding information, and statewide assistive technology support.

Major waiver programs include:

These waiver programs specifically include Assistive Technology, Specialized Equipment, and Environmental Modifications when medically necessary. Updated 2026 waiver applications continue to include Assistive Technology as a covered service. (mn.gov // Minnesota's State Portal)

community participation,
caregiver safety,
positioning,
