How mobility equipment billing works

Power mobility devices require a face-to-face examination by the treating practitioner, a written order, a home assessment and, for Medicare, prior authorization before delivery for most power wheelchairs. Complex rehab wheelchairs also need a specialty evaluation and an assistive technology professional involved in the fitting.
