CMS-10116 Public Comments
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) received a comment from an anonymous party, which appears below.
Comment:
A face to face examination should be continued as a condition.
Response:
CMS agrees with this comment. The power mobility device (PMD) prescription must be in writing and signed and dated by the physician or treating practitioner who performs a face to face examination documenting the need for a PMD. CMS believes this represents a good balance between the agency’s desire to have a timely process and lessen the opportunity for fraud and abuse, while meeting the beneficiaries need for access to the equipment.
