Great opportunity to be heard
Below is a survey to help advocate for national changes to wheelchair or scooter repair. The consumer must have used Medicare and/or Medicaid for the repair in the last three years. See details below:
Tell CMS (Medicare) YOUR Repair Story – https://forms.gle/i52UYvVLeAjRjp469
A group of advocates including the Colorado Cross Disability Coalition and Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund are collecting information about mobility device user experiences getting their equipment repaired. You only need to complete this questionnaire if you have Medicare and/or Medicaid and if your wheelchair or scooter has needed a repair in the last three years. We will forward your responses to CMS.
This is an effort at the Federal level to point out to the staff at CMS, specifically the Medicare Ombudsperson, that beneficiaries are having a hard time getting repairs of their mobility devices. The survey is about 10 questions with mostly click the response questions and a couple of questions asking for free text.
