Chamber Passed·7/21/26

Choices for Increased Mobility Act of 2025 clarifies Medicare payment rules for ultralightweight manual wheelchairs.

The Choices for Increased Mobility Act of 2025 amends the Social Security Act to clarify payment rules for manual wheelchairs under Medicare. It requires the Secretary to establish separate HCPCS codes for ultralightweight manual wheelchairs based on the construction material of the base. Suppliers may charge beneficiaries the difference between the payment amount and their actual charge. The bill also allows the Secretary to require suppliers to inform beneficiaries of their potential financial liability before purchasing or renting such wheelchairs.
