At Merits Health Products, we’re committed to supporting conversations that strengthen access to mobility and independence. This upcoming Mobility Management webinar offers valuable insight into the proposed PMD LCD changes and how our industry can respond collaboratively.

We encourage our community to register and take part in this timely discussion, Thursday, March 19th.

On Thursday, March 19, Mobility Management will host the webinar Proposed PMD LCD Changes: Issues, Impact, and Industry Strategy featuring Julie Piriano, PT, ATP/SMS, the National Coalition for Assistive & Rehab Technology’s (NCART) senior director, payor relations and regulatory affairs.
Webinar topics will include:
• What the LCDs are proposing — and what the DME MACs have explained so far.
• The differences between national and local coverage determinations (NCD/LCD) and which power wheelchairs would and would not be affected by the LCDs.
• The potential impact on Medicare beneficiaries who qualify for Group 2 power wheelchairs and need seat elevation’s functionality.
• Clinical and functional benefits of power seat elevation on Group 2 power wheelchairs.
• What NCART and other industry organizations, manufacturers and clinical groups are saying about the LCDs and how they plan to respond.
• The most effective ways for stakeholders to provide feedback and support.
The live webinar — which will later be available to watch on demand — will be moderated by Mobility Management Editor in Chief Laurie Watanabe and will include a Q&A session with attendees. Registration is FREE.

More patients are choosing to age in place, and stair safety is a core part of that journey. Many DMEs are expanding into stairlift installations because it fills a real need for clients who are not yet ready for power mobility but need help staying safe at home.

Merits supports this shift with the Pilot Stairlift Series. We offer straight and curved solutions, indoor and outdoor models, intuitive safety features, universal mounting, and easy servicing so you can expand your accessibility program without adding operational complexity.

By offering stairlifts, DMEs strengthen referrals, reach new patients, and support long term mobility planning with a trusted manufacturer behind them. Visit our website to view our Pilot Stairlifts:

For years, seat elevation was considered a “nice-to-have” feature. Today, it is recognized as a medically necessary benefit for many power wheelchair users under Medicare.

Why does this matter? Seat elevation is more than convenience—it is about safety and independence. It helps users transfer more easily, reach higher surfaces without assistance, and reduce risks in their environment.

If you are not yet offering Group 2 chairs with seat elevation, now is the time to make this part of your solution. Functional mobility starts here.

Contact your Territory Sales Manager to schedule a personalized primer on providing power seat elevation to your customers, or call us at 239-772-0579.

Comfort matters, but for wheelchair users, seating and positioning go way beyond that. They are key to health, function, and independence.

That is why we created the Precision Comfort line. It is designed to tackle real-world challenges like posture support and pressure injury prevention while giving providers the flexibility to meet both mild and complex needs.

Think of it as a system that adapts to each user’s unique body and goals because no two individuals are the same. https://bit.ly/44eoNId
