An Act providing for complex wheelchair quality assurance; and imposing duties on the Department of Human Services and the Insurance Department.
This bill requires health insurance policies and government programs in Pennsylvania to cover semiannual maintenance and safety checks for complex wheelchairs. It defines complex wheelchairs as custom-designed medical devices that need regular adjustments to meet a user's specific physical needs. The law mandates that these coverage plans pay for the labor and travel costs associated with these evaluations, which can be conducted either in person or via telehealth. By imposing these duties on the Department of Human Services and the Insurance Department, the act ensures that individuals relying on specialized mobility equipment receive consistent care to maintain the device's functionality.
