New “AT Funding Toolkits” Series Kicks Off with Materials/Links to Support Medicaid Application for Standing Wheelchair
This is a collaborative effort between New York’s State AT Project (TRAID) and the National AT Advocacy Project. Marge Gustas of NLS is spearheading the effort to create “toolkits” for seeking Medicaid funding for a number of commonly sought items that can often be a challenge to get funded. Although the toolkits focus on New York they should have value throughout the country.
The first toolkit focuses on the standing wheelchair, http://www.justicecenter.ny.gov/services-supports/assistive-technology-traid/at-toolkits/standing-wheelchair. By going to the site you will see a Funding Request Checklist, with links to sample Letters of Medical Justification and other important resources to support the funding request. Additional toolkits to publish later this year.
