CMS Introduces New Wheelchair Cushion Codes

Baltimore

Last month, CMS sent out a change-request transmittal to its contractors spelling out 20 new codes for wheelchair cushions — and eliminating, among others, the broad E0192 code. To become effective July 1, the new codes include cushion depth and height parameters, wheelchair cushions for general use, skin protection, positioning and seat backs, along with new codes for mounting hardware.
