Medicare currently does not have unique coverage for the more complex needs of individuals with disabilities and long term medical conditions that require customized wheelchair systems and services.

United Spinal is asking readers to urge their Representative and Senators to support coverage of custom wheelchairs. Go to: United Spinal Association Action Alert.

Coverage for these products and services would increase independence, safety, and mobility of wheelchair users. The bills that can make this happen are HR 942 and S 948, the Ensuring Access to Quality Complex Rehabilitation Technology Act of 2013. Urge your elected officials to support HR 942 and S 948.

Thank you for your support,
