Pivot™ Reimbursement

The Pivot™ is now reimbursable according to Medicare / Medicaid guidelines under the code E2227 - "Manual Wheelchair Accessory, Gear Reduction Drive Wheel."

Are you eligible?

Do you qualify for a manual wheelchair?
Can you document that the Pivot™ will either alleviate shoulder pain or give you greater functional mobility / independence?

If you are covered by Medicare,

Have you been in a manual chair for at least one year?
Have you had an evaluation with a specialist, such as physical therapist, occupational therapist, or doctor that demonstrates your need for this device in the home?

If you answered yes to all of the above, then reimbursement is an option!

Possible justifications

By using a less stressful means of propulsion, you may better preserve upper body strength and dexterity
Since the Pivot™ system does not require great manual dexterity, users who are unable to use a standard pushrim manual chair may regain the independence and health benefits associated with manual chair use
The Pivot™ system is less expensive than a power wheelchair
The Pivot™ system is more maneuverable within the home than a power wheelchair or scooter
