Wheelchair repair; establishing time restrictions to ensure prompt repair, to require Medicaid coverage of repair, and to require manufacturers of motorized wheelchairs to provide necessary documentation, parts, and tools to independent repair providers

Summary

The bill sets strict time limits for repairing customized wheelchairs and allows the Board of Home Medical Equipment to discipline providers that miss them. It also mandates Medicaid to pay for medically‑necessary wheelchair repairs and removes the need for new prescriptions or prior authorizations. Finally, manufacturers must supply parts, tools, and information to independent repair shops, with non‑compliance treated as an unlawful trade practice.
