Do Atps Conduct Home Accessibility Assessments?
Yes, certified Assistive Technology Professionals (ATPs) at MedEquipped conduct home accessibility assessments as part of their clinical evaluation process.
During the complex rehab technology functional assessment, the ATP performs a holistic review of several factors to ensure the custom power wheelchair is appropriate for your lifestyle. This includes:
- Home Layout: Evaluating the physical environment where you will use the chair to ensure it fits and functions correctly within your living space.
- Daily Routines: Analyzing your daily activities and functional needs to determine the right seating and drive controls.
- Positioning and Safety: Assessing seating, positioning, and environmental safety to customize the chair to your life.
This assessment is critical for documenting power wheelchair medical necessity and is often required by Medicare and other insurers to justify coverage for the equipment.
