It’s hard to help others outside a niche industry “get” what you do. Both parties in the conversation need to be heavily invested to resolve misunderstandings and assumptions. And even with an investment on both ends, a resolution can be challenging to reach. This is something that feels especially relevant given the latest updates in Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) coverage of Seat Elevation systems.
Wayne Grau, Executive Director of NCART, undertook great efforts to comment on and recommend an extension to the February 15 proposal by CMS. His proposal recommended to include mobility-related activities of daily living (MRADLs) as a justification for Seat Elevation systems to be covered. Thanks to his work at NCART, the policy has been updated, and since been made effective, to include this provision. That’s not to say the work is done.
“NCART is very disappointed with the final decision, and we have contacted CMS to meet and discuss this issue. The information we have gathered does not support the final payment level. We are also coordinating our efforts with the ITEM Coalition, which submitted the NCD request. The ITEM Coalition and NCART have concerns that at this payment level, some consumers may be denied access to this incredible product,” NCART shared in a March 2024 newsletter.
