In Episode 9 of Wheelchair Nerds, I dive into the groundbreaking news about Power Seat Elevate coverage with my guests, Jim Stevenson and Allie Ingersoll. We explore the recent decision by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to classify Power Seat Elevate as medically necessary, a significant shift that could influence other insurers. Jim, a senior market access manager at Permobil, shares insights from the manufacturer's perspective, while Allie, a disability strategy consultant and C6 quadriplegic, discusses her advocacy journey.
