Episode 15: Status report: Seat elevate coverage

from Wheelchair Nerds

In Episode 15 of Wheelchair Nerds, join me, Angie Kiger, as we dive into the latest updates on seat elevation coverage. In this special report, I'm joined by Jim Stevenson, Senior Market Access Manager at Permobil, to discuss the significant progress made since CMS announced the medical necessity of power seat elevation on May 16th. We explore the impact on Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans, the ongoing gap period, and what this means for consumers and caregivers. Jim shares insights on the evolving landscape, the importance of documentation, and the potential trickle-down effect on Medicaid and private insurers. Tune in to understand how this development is shaping the future of complex rehab technology and what it means for those in need of power wheelchair solutions.
