This is a four-wheel electric scooter made by pride and sold at national City mobility. I don't know how to get it to where I'm at. I'm recently moved to New York anything California am I able to sell it or what do I do with it?

Check with the store that provided it to make sure its not being rented by Medicare or your Medical Insurance. If you own it outright, sell it. If not, you need to have the provider pick it up.

The scooter was free to you?
After checking on legal ownership, give it away to a needy senior.

Did a doctor or other medical pro prescribe or put in the order for you? I'd talk to them first. And then call your insurance plan if you have coverage through one of the managed care Medicare/Medicaid plans.

I'd guess that it's yours and probably no one else cares what you do with it. I'd check, though, just so you don't get dinged for it somehow.

By medical do you mean Medicare or Medicaid?    For Medicare, it's my understanding that specific items for which they pay must generally be held and used for a given number of months.  After that, ownership cedes to the patient.  (I can't speak to Medicaid's regulations; others here are much more familiar with it than I.)

You need to explore the issue of ownership first, and determine whether or not there's still a period during which you need to have the scooter before title cedes to you.   

Was there a reason why the scooter wasn't included with your belongings when you moved to NY?   Who has possession of it now?   Have you contacted either Medicaid or Medicare for guidance on ownership issues, and specifically whether or not you can legitimately sell it?

Call the manufacturer. I don't know if you can sell this, unless you paid for it. (Dad's was free due to his VA benefits).

Once you know if you can sell it, then run an ad in the local 'paper'. (Yes, everything is online now). I imagine it wouldn't be hard to sell. And it's not with you? You'll need someone to be your 'agent' in selling this. A family member? A trusted friend?

Shipping it cross country would probably cost more than it's worth. Good Luck with this.
