Mobility Assistive Devices (Wheelchairs) - MEDICAID - SOUTH CAROLINA

This policy covers mobility assistive devices (wheelchairs — manual, power/electric, and power-operated vehicles) as durable medical equipment for Humana Medicaid members in South Carolina. Coverage is for patients with significant mobility limitations from neurological/muscular disorders, congenital skeletal deformity, ventilator dependence or inability to ambulate/perform ADLs (power wheelchairs require inability to use a manual chair and typically ≥6 months of need), and is conditional on a licensed provider order, specified transfer criteria and in-person assessment; POVs require sufficient trunk/upper-extremity control to operate a tiller, and replacements are allowed only after warranty expiration (generally limited to one per year).
