CMS to implement small increase for seat elevation systems  

WASHINGTON – CMS has agreed to increase reimbursement for seat elevation systems for power wheelchairs by $13.62 to $2,013.96, according to NCART. The agency will implement the change and provide instructions on submitting previously submitted claims for adjustment as part of its July DMEPOS fee schedule update, the organization says. Reimbursement of $2,000 for the new code E2298 went into effect April 1, 2024. On an interim basis prior to April 1, providers were being paid about $2,800, on average, for seat elevation systems. Stakeholders had recommended a rate of $3,450, on average. The change follows a meeting between CMS and stakeholders.
