EAST AMHERST, N.Y. – NCART says it grew its membership by nearly 20% in 2021. Two of the organization’s newest members include Alpine Home Medical, a provider with 10 locations in Utah and Idaho; and Matia Robotics, a manufacturer of “innovative solutions” for individuals with disabilities. “Thank you to both organizations for adding their support to CRT advocacy work,” the organization stated in a bulletin. “We couldn’t be prouder to be working alongside each of our member companies to protect access to CRT and want to continue to expand our advocacy reach.” In 2021, NCART’s advocacy included permanently exempting accessories for complex manual wheelchairs from competitive bidding pricing. Part of the organization’s advocacy work in 2022: obtaining Medicare coverage for power seat elevation and power standing systems, and permanently expanding the use of telehealth by occupational therapists and physical therapists.
