Choices for Increased Mobility Act of 2024

This bill requires Medicare to create separate billing codes for ultralightweight manual wheelchairs based on whether their base uses titanium or carbon fiber (vs. other materials), effective January 2026. It ensures Medicare payments for titanium/carbon fiber wheelchairs match standard rates, while allowing suppliers to charge beneficiaries the difference between payment and their actual cost. Suppliers must provide written notices about potential extra costs before sales. The policy directly affects Medicare beneficiaries using these specialized wheelchairs and healthcare suppliers who provide them.
