The rules say that plans must pay for a medical service or item if regular Medicare would pay for it in this case. You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101.The rules say that a seat lift mechanism is covered if all of the following criteria are met:1. The beneficiary must have severe arthritis of the hip or knee or have a severe neuromuscular disease.2. The seat lift mechanism must be a part of the treating practitioner's course of treatment and be prescribed to effect improvement, or arrest or retard deterioration in the beneficiary's condition.3. The beneficiary must be completely incapable of standing up from a regular armchair or any chair in their home. (The fact that a beneficiary has difficulty or is even incapable of getting up from a chair, particularly a low chair, is not sufficient justification for a seat lift mechanism. Almost all beneficiaries who are capable of ambulating can get out of an ordinary chair if the seat height is appropriate and the chair has arms.)4. Once standing, the beneficiary must have the ability to ambulate.Coverage of seat lift mechanisms is limited to those types which operate smoothly, can be controlled by the beneficiary, and effectively assist a beneficiary in standing up and sitting down without other assistance. Excluded from coverage is the type of lift which operates by spring release mechanism with a sudden, catapult-like motion and jolts the beneficiary from a seated to a standing position.The practitioner ordering the seat lift mechanism must be the treating practitioner or a consulting practitioner for the disease or condition resulting in the need for a seat lift. The practitioner's record must document that all appropriate therapeutic modalities (e.g., medication, physical therapy) have been tried and failed to enable the beneficiary to transfer from a chair to a standing position.You can find this information in Medicare's Local Coverage Determination (LCD): Seat Lift Mechanisms (L33801).
