Dingell and colleagues urge CMS to expand Medicare coverage for wheelchair maintenance and repair access.
Investivoq AI Summary
Lawmakers raise Medicare concerns: U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and other lawmakers said they have asked CMS to review Medicare’s coverage rules for complex rehabilitation technology, including customized power wheelchairs. They said the current framework leaves gaps for beneficiaries with serious physical and functional disabilities.
Issues cited in the letter: The lawmakers said Medicare generally will not cover routine maintenance unless a part has already failed, and they argued that this can delay repairs and make equipment failures more likely. They also said a requirement for a prescription dated within the past 12 months can create an administrative barrier to repair coverage.
Call for action: In a letter to CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, the lawmakers urged regulatory changes to allow coverage for preventative maintenance and to ease the prescription renewal requirement. They said the changes could help preserve mobility and independence for Medicare beneficiaries who rely on CRT equipment.
