MADISON, Wis. - Gov. Tony Evers has signed a bill this week that expands access to complex rehab technology for individuals with disabilities by adding power seat elevation or standing components for power wheelchairs to the state Medicaid program's definition of CRT. “This is an important step to ensuring access to this critical standing technology for those with disabilities,” Evers said. “These tools can help individuals with disabilities live more comfortable, healthier and more independent lives.” Senate Bill 605, now known as the 2019 Wisconsin Act 186, also requires the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and managed care plans to act on prior authorization requests for CRT within 10 working days of receiving the relevant documentation needed to make a determination.
