Summary
The FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act bars Medicare Advantage plans from imposing prior‑authorization, prescription, or medical‑documentation requirements for fixing certain power and manual wheelchairs and their accessories. It still permits prior authorization for the initial medical‑need evaluation or for replacing a wheelchair after major damage, when it reaches the end of its useful life, or after five years of use. The goal is to speed up repairs for people who depend on these devices.
