Friday Deadline for Comments on Proposed Medicare Coverage of Power Seat Elevation Systems

Comments are due to CMS on Friday, March 17, for the proposed coverage of power seat elevation coverage. We encourage companies providing these services, including wheelchair-user patients, clinicians and referral sources, to weigh in as well. Add your voice to this historic opportunity to increase access to this essential technology!  

Below are several resources to assist you in submitting comments:

• AAHomecare Seat Elevation NCD Reconsideration Central – provides sample email and messaging center;
• Rise4Access.org -- comprehensive online resource developed by the ITEM Coalition to help patients and other stakeholders develop effective comments;
• CMS decision summary and link to submit comments.
