CRT Advocates and Friends,

Since February 15 the CRT community has been hard at work providing feedback on the CMS proposed coverage determination for power seat elevation systems. For anyone who hasn't taken advantage of this opportunity to voice support for Medicare coverage of this critical technology, you still have time! Public comments are being accepted through this Friday, March 17.

WE NEED YOU TO TAKE ACTION!

1.) If you haven't already, please review the proposed decision memo from CMS and submit comments in support of the decision. The dedicated website at www.rise4access.org has been updated with a summary of the proposed coverage, suggested talking points, and instructions on how to submit your comments.

2.) Please share this opportunity with others.  It is critical that CMS receives as many supportive stakeholder comments as possible from organizations, individuals who use wheelchairs, caregivers, clinicians, healthcare providers, suppliers, manufacturers, friends, family, and all other advocates!
