PA requirement revised for motorized wheelchairs

Family Voices shares the following announcement from IHCP (Indiana Health Coverage Programs):

Effective immediately, the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) no longer requires the signature of a physiatrist on 

the medical clearance form that must accompany prior authorization (PA) requests for the purchase of power 

wheelchairs. The IHCP Medical Clearance for Motorized Wheelchair Purchase form on the Forms page at 

indianamedicaid.com has been updated to remove this requirement. Please download the most current form from the 

Forms page at indianamedicaid.com. The requesting physician is required to sign both the PA request and medical 

clearance form. Questions regarding PA should be directed to ADVANTAGE Health SolutionsSM
