Seat elevation has been a Medicare covered accessory since May 16, 2023 and it has changed the lives of many power wheelchair users.
It is accurate to say that due to the broad coverage criteria most who qualify for a complex power wheelchair would also qualify for seat elevation, however, the documentation still must support the medical necessity per policy. As with all wheelchair accessories the beneficiary must meet the coverage criteria, even when it may be obvious that they qualify.
In this session the instructor will identify proper coding, modifiers and allowables as well as dig deep into the coverage criteria to outline what is expected in the required specialty wheelchair evaluation to ensure those that qualify will receive this LIFE CHANGING accessory!
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify proper coding, modifiers and allowables
2. Determine the coverage criteria for seat elevation
3. Determine the documentation requirements
4. Implement protocol to ensure coverage for qualified patients
