SB 594 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act providing for complex wheelchair quality assurance; and imposing duties on the Department of Human Services and the Insurance Department.

SB 594, the Complex Wheelchair Quality Assurance Act, requires health insurers and government programs (like Medicaid) to cover semiannual maintenance visits ("well-visits") for individuals using complex wheelchairs. These wheelchairs are defined as individually configured devices designed for specific medical needs, requiring specialized adjustments and evaluations. The bill mandates coverage for physical checks, adjustments, and telehealth options for these visits, along with annual notifications to users about their coverage. It also directs the Department of Human Services and Insurance Department to establish implementation rules within two years.
