Pennsylvania SB594 establishes quality assurance for complex wheelchairs, requiring coverage for maintenance and well-visits.

Pennsylvania SB594, the Complex Wheelchair Quality Assurance Act, mandates that health insurance policies and government programs cover maintenance and well-visits for complex wheelchairs at least semiannually. A well-visit includes an evaluation of the wheelchair's physical condition and necessary adjustments. The Department of Human Services and the Insurance Department are tasked with promulgating rules and regulations to implement these provisions, including establishing a methodology for reimbursements.
