Bill overview
This bill aims to clarify how Medicare pays for manual wheelchairs. Specifically, it requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create separate billing codes for ultralightweight manual wheelchairs based on their construction materials – titanium or carbon fiber versus other materials. It also allows for the purchase and rental of upgraded wheelchairs made with these materials, while establishing rules for how much individuals may be charged for these upgrades and ensuring they receive clear information about potential costs.
