What’s in it
AI summary People with permanent physical disabilities who receive Medicaid could get their insurance to pay for special equipment that helps them stand up while using a power wheelchair. If a person asks for this equipment and a doctor says it is necessary for their health and independence, the insurance companies must cover the cost.1
