Specialty Evaluation for Wheelchairs Lookup
CGS has designed a new tool, Specialty Evaluation for Wheelchairs Lookup, to help you determine if a wheelchair or wheelchair option, accessory, or seating HCPCS code requires a specialty evaluation by a licensed/certified medical professional (LCMP). To confirm if an item requires a specialty evaluation, just enter the HCPCS code.
Access it from our Tools & Calculators page or directly using this link: Specialty Evaluation for Wheelchairs Lookup.
Refer to the appropriate Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) and policy articles for coverage and documentation requirements for these items.
