HCPCS Coding & Medicare Coverage

Both the APK2, the SofTech are coded E2609 for Medicare reimbursement and private insurance reimbursement, and you do not need a doctor’s prescription to order and purchase any wheelchair cushion directly from Aquila but you will need a prescription to run through Medicare or other insurance. Below is the coverage policy information for any Aquila custom wheelchair cushion system.

UPDATE:

We have recently heard from DME companies that the most Medicare will pay towards a SofTech is a few hundred dollars and that the process can take up to a year to come through.  

Private insurance and/or workers’ compensation may offer a different outcome.
