Good news if you're in the market for wheelchair accessories used with Group 3 coded wheelchairs.
Medicare allowables for accessories used on complex rehab technology (CRT) power wheelchair won’t be based on pricing derived from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) competitive bidding program, the agency has announced.
In a June 23 bulletin, CMS said it “is issuing a new policy on how adjustments to the fee schedule based on information from competitive bidding programs apply to wheelchair accessories and back and seat cushions used with Group 3 complex rehabilitative power wheelchairs.” Those adjustments will no longer happen, so starting July 1, “payment for these items will be based on the standard unadjusted fee schedule amounts.”
