A beneficiary rents a wheelchair beginning on January 1. The DME MAC determines that the wheelchair is medically necessary and that the beneficiary meets all coverage criteria, and so begins to make payment on the wheelchair. The beneficiary enters a covered a hospital on February 15 and is discharged on April 5. In this example, Medicare pays for the entire month of February, because the patient was in the home for part of the month. However, the DME MAC denies the claim for March, because the patient was in a covered hospital stay for the entire month.
If you elect to rent the electric wheelchair, you are again given the option of purchasing it during your 10th rental month. If you continue to rent the electric wheelchair for 10 months, Medicare requires (specify name of supplier) to give you the option of converting your rental agreement to a purchase agreement.
For example, a wheelchair that is custom fabricated or substantially modified so that it can meet the needs of wheelchair-confined, conjoined twins facing each other is unique and cannot be grouped with any other wheelchair used for the same purpose. It is a one-of-a-kind item fabricated to meet specific needs.
There must be no requirement that all claims for power wheelchairs include the make and model name/number of the wheelchair separate from the claim or the CMN. The CMN, an OMB approved information collection form, can be used to collect this information. Specifically, DME MACs can require that the make and model name/ number of the power wheelchair be included in Section C of the CMN. Section C requires the supplier to include a narrative description of the items, options and accessories ordered.
For example, if a beneficiary received a manual wheelchair under a HMO/Managed Care plan, he or she would need to meet Medicare coverage criteria and documentation requirements for manual wheelchairs. He or she would have to obtain a Certificate of Medical Necessity (CMN), and would begin an entirely new rental period, just as a beneficiary enrolled in FFS, to obtain a manual wheelchair for the first time.
If you need an electric wheelchair prescribed by your doctor, you may already know that Medicare can help pay for it.
Limitations of strength, endurance, range of motion, or coordination, presence of pain, or deformity or absence of one or both upper extremities are relevant to the assessment of upper extremity function.
