Amylior's 11" Power Seat Elevation Option is Now ALTA

Introduction

Please note that, effective IMMEDIATELY, Amylior's 11" power seat elevation options will be marketed under a new name: ALTA.

May 2023, United States CMS decision:

“The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finds that power seat elevation equipment on Medicare-covered power wheelchairs (PWCs) falls within the benefit category for durable medical equipment (DME). CMS finds in this national coverage analysis that the evidence is sufficient to determine that power seat elevation equipment is reasonable and necessary for individuals using complex rehabilitative power-driven wheelchairs when certain conditions are met.”

Amylior is thrilled that more beneficiaries will be able to realize the functional and clinical benefits provided by power seat elevation. Amylior continues to work with industry groups as coding and reimbursement guidelines are finalized for this technology.

Proven for Over 15 Years

Power Seat Elevation has been available on Alltrack chairs since 2008. With 11 inches of vertical elevation, this extremely solid, stable, and durable design has been helping people reach new heights for 15 years.

Available in both standard and heavy-duty configurations, Alta Power Seat Elevation can support user weights up to 400 pounds and allows users to drive safely at up to 25% of the maximum programmed forward speed. All this function is delivered with no additional mechanical lockouts or modifications to the standard suspension, ensuring each user can safely enjoy the full capabilities of their Alltrack base.
