What’s in it

This bill requires the department of health and human services to require all Medicaid managed care organizations contracting with the department, upon the request of a Medicaid recipient, to cover the costs of power standing device equipment on power wheelchairs as reasonable and medically necessary for the recipient’s independence, function, health, and well-being, if the Medicaid recipient has a permanent physical disability. The bill defines “power standing device equipment” for the purposes of the bill.
