Latest Update – More Bad News For The Powered Wheelchair Industry AND The Powered Wheelchair Consumer
Following on from the report yesterday on the new dramatic cut in CMS reimbursement for power chairs: More Bad News For The Powered Wheelchair Industry AND The Powered Wheelchair Consumer
RAMP – Restore Access to Mobility Partnership issued the following statement:
“Reimbursement Cuts of 21 Percent to 41 Percent Will Force Lay-offs, Put Suppliers Out of Business”.
The point from my perspective is the impact of access to critical healthcare for consumers. There is no doubt that irrespective of layoffs etc, this is is huge blow to people who often need help with this life supporting and enhancing technology the most.
