Choices for Increased Mobility Act of 2024

This bill requires Medicare to create separate billing codes for ultralightweight manual wheelchairs based on their frame material (specifically distinguishing titanium/carbon fiber frames from other materials), effective January 1, 2025. It allows Medicare beneficiaries to purchase or rent upgraded titanium/carbon fiber wheelchairs after that date, with suppliers permitted to charge the difference between the standard wheelchair Medicare rate and the upgraded wheelchair's fair market value. Suppliers must provide an advance beneficiary notice explaining potential out-of-pocket costs before the sale or rental. The bill directly affects Medicare beneficiaries using manual wheelchairs and wheelchair suppliers who bill Medicare.
