Coverage Criteria

All of the following basic criteria (A-G) must be met for a power mobility device to be covered.

  1. The patient has a mobility limitation that significantly impairs his/her ability to participate in one or more mobility-related activities of daily living (MRADLs) such as toileting, feeding, dressing, grooming, and bathing in customary locations in the home. A mobility limitation is one that:

    • Prevents the patient from accomplishing an MRADL entirely, or
    • Places the patient at reasonably determined heightened risk of morbidity or mortality secondary to the attempts to perform an MRADL; or
    • Prevents the patient from completing an MRADL within a reasonable time frame.

  2. The patient's mobility limitation cannot be sufficiently and safely resolved by the use of an a appropriately fitted cane or walker.


  3. The patient does not have sufficient upper extremity function to self-propel an optimally-configured manual wheelchair in the home to perform MRADLs during a typical day.

    • Limitations of strength, endurance, range of motion, or coordination, presence of pain, or deformity or absence of one or both upper extremities are relevant to the assessment of upper extremity function.
    • An optimally configured manual wheelchair is one with an appropriate wheelbase, device weight, seating options, and other appropriate nonpowered accessories.

  4. The patient's weight is less than or equal to the weight capacity of the power wheelchair that is provided.

  5. The patient's home provides adequate access between rooms, maneuvering space and surfaces for the operation of the power wheelchair that is provided.

  6. Use of a power wheelchair will significantly improve the patient's ability to participate in MRADLs and the patient will use it in the home. For patients with severe cognitive and/or physical impairments, participation in MRADLs may require the assistance of a caregiver.

  7. The patient has not expressed an unwillingness to use a power wheelchair in the home.
