H.R. 1703

Choices for Increased Mobility Act of 2026

Finance Committee, Ways and Means Committee, Energy and Commerce Committee · Rep. John Joyce (R-PA)

The bill would require Medicare to create specific billing codes for ultralightweight manual wheelchairs, including at least one code for wheelchairs made with titanium or carbon fiber and one for those without these materials. It would allow suppliers to bill Medicare patients for the difference between Medicare's payment and the actual cost of the wheelchair.[AI-Generated]
