Yes, Medicare Covers Seat Elevation—But Many Still Don’t Know

Medicare Covers Seat Elevation—But Are You Taking Advantage?
More than two years after Medicare expanded coverage to include seat elevation systems for power wheelchairs, many patients and even some providers are still unaware of this important benefit.

Official CMS Language (CMS NCD 280.16):
"power seat elevation equipment is reasonable and necessary for individuals using complex rehabilitative power-driven wheelchairs" when certain conditions are met.  

This ruling applies to:

• Group 2 and Group 3 power wheelchairs

• Patients who require help with reaching, transfers, or other height-related mobility tasks

• Those who would benefit functionally and clinically from elevation during activities of daily living
