Replacing Your Jazzy 1103 Ultra? There's Something You Should Know

Jazzy Select 6 Ultra


Jazzy 1103 Ultra (now only available as a Quantum 1103 Ultra)

For many people who previously bought a Jazzy 1103 Ultra, they're finding out it's not so easy finding one again. Per Medicare, a power chair customer is qualified to replace their current chair if they've had it for at least five years and it has become too expensive to fix. With the severe cutbacks power chair providers have suffered over the past several years, industry manufacturers have been forced to follow suit.

Previously, Pride Mobility, the manufacturer of the 1103 Ultra, was able to offer the chair in their consumer line of products known as the Jazzy series. The 1103 Ultra was the option in the Jazzy series for consumers needing a seat elevating option. Because the seat elevating option is not covered by Medicare, only those who could afford an out-of-pocket expense selected the 1103.

Now, the 1103 Ultra has changed labels to the Quantum Series, Pride Mobility's rehab product line. Replacing the 1103 Ultra in the Jazzy series, is the Jazzy Select 6 Ultra. The basics of the chair are the same, however, there are significant differences that will surprise current 1103 Ultra users who are looking to replace their chairs.

Jazzy Select 6 Ultra v. Quantum 1103 Ultra

1. Expense for Providers - The Quantum 1103 Ultra is now a much more expensive chair for providers to purchase. If the provider is billing the chair as a replacement for the Jazzy 1103 Ultra, they'll most likely use the KO831 code. Because of the dramatic reduction in reimbursement for providers using the Ko831 code, the Jazzy Select 6 Ultra, with it's lift feature, will be the chair of choice.

2. Charger - A design change for the Jazzy Select 6 Ultra includes an off-board charger. Users will no longer be able to plug in their chairs from the base to the wall. Now, users will be forced to use an off-board battery which can only be connected in the in-set just underneath the controller. Although it seems minor, this change will dissappoint Jazzy 1103 Ultra users who enjoyed the convenience of stuffing the end of an unplugged charger in the pouch on the rear of the seat.

3. Seat Height - The seat on a Jazzy Select Ultra 6 has a higher seat height from the lowest position compared to the Quantum 1103 Ultra. The reason - Pride Mobility, the manufacturer, has positioned the lift mechanism on the post, just above the shroud of the chair. Previously on the Jazzy version of the 1103, the lift mechanism was positioned inside the shroud. The difference in placement prevents those needing a lower seat position for transfers from making accommodations they may already be used to. Basically, if you had a Jazzy 1103 Ultra and now you're considering a Jazzy Select 6 Ultra, your seat will begin in a higher position.

4. Seat Comfort/Size - To help reduce costs for providers, Pride Mobility has trimmed the design and amount of cushion in their Jazzy series of chairs. Although the seat measurements may be the same, Jazzy 1103 users may be dissappointed to find the newer Jazzy Select 6 Ultra seat as less comfortable and possibly an appearance of being smaller.

Summary

If you're a Jazzy 1103 Ultra user and it's time to replace your chair using insurance, you may be forced to pay significant out-of-pocket costs due to the re-classification of the 1103 into the Quantum label. If you cannot afford the cost, the Jazzy Select 6 Ultra will be your new alternative.

Pro-Tech Medical Provides CPAP Therapy For Improved Health

Most people are aware of the benefits that CPAP treatment can provide for people with sleep apnea: a better night’s sleep, more alertness and energy during the day, and an overall improvement in the quality of life. But did you know that CPAP treatment can also improve comorbidities of sleep apnea, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and obesity? The following information describes the relationship between sleep apnea and these comorbidities, and highlights the importance of treatment in gaining the full benefits of CPAP therapy.

Sleep Apnea and Diabetes

The link between sleep apnea and diabetes has been referenced in a growing number of clinical articles. Sleep apnea is very common in patients who suffer from diabetes, and people with sleep apnea have higher chances of developing insulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes patients who receive treatment for their sleep apnea often have an immediate improvement in their diabetic condition. If you have diabetes and think you might have sleep apnea, talk to your doctor and find out right away. Treating sleep apnea might help you control your blood sugar levels and may lower your chances of complications, like heart disease.

High blood pressure

The National Institutes of Health lists sleep apnea as a cause of high blood pressure. Studies show that about 30% of all people with high blood pressure have sleep apnea. That number increases to 80% for people taking three or more medications to control their blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure and sleep apnea, starting treatment may help you lower your levels significantly and improve your heart health.

Heart Disease

Untreated sleep apnea strains the heart and may cause it not to work properly. Left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to heart disease and heart failure. People with sleep apnea can lower their chances of developing these problems by getting treated. Sleep apnea treatment can people help control their blood pressure and improve their heart health.

Stroke

Sleep apnea can increase a person's chances of stroke. In fact, studies show that more than 60% of patients who have had a stroke also have sleep apnea. Stroke patients with untreated sleep apnea may have a harder time recovering after a stroke than others do. Recovering from a stroke takes much energy and motivation, but the sleepiness that comes from sleep apnea can make it difficult for a person to follow rehabilitation programs, causing poor recovery. Stroke patients with untreated sleep apnea have higher chances of death than patients who receive treatment.

Obesity

About 40% of obese people have sleep apnea. Overweight people should be particularly concerned because sleep apnea may make weight loss more difficult. The sleepiness that comes from sleep apnea may cause people to overeat, sleep more, and exercise less. Some people, as a matter of habit, will eat to "wake up" when they feel drowsy during the day. That in turn can cause them to gain more weight, which may make their sleep apnea even worse. Being treated for sleep apnea can help obese people gain the energy to exercise more and lose weight.

As you can see, CPAP therapy can do more than help you sleep well and go far beyond treating your sleep apnea if you have comorbidities such as those described above. If you remain compliant with your treatment, you are more likely to enjoy the health benefits that CPAP therapy has to offer.

Explaining Medicare Requirements for Power Chairs/Scooters

A power wheelchair (K0010-K0014) is covered by Medicare when a patient's condition is such that without the use of a wheelchair the patient would be otherwise bed or chair confined. Additionally, the patient is unable to operate a manual wheelchair due to a severe neurologic or muscular condition of both arms and legs.

Examples of severe neurologic conditions might include spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, advanced multiple sclerosis, or stroke with dense hemiplegia. In addition to the diagnosis of such a condition, there must also be functional impairment involving paralysis or such severe weakness of arms as well as legs that the patient is unable to propel a manual wheelchair within the confines of their home or individual living quarters.

The DMERC has received many claims with documentation of the need for power wheelchairs including statements signed by physicians, indicating a degree of functional impairment and use within the home or living quarters, which has not been corroborated when further investigated. In an effort to better determine the medical necessity for power wheelchairs (K0010-K0014), Region C DMERC may require information in addition to a CMN, which is normally submitted with the claim.

Suppliers may be notified of the need for this extra documentation before a claim for a power wheelchair is adjudicated for payment. The extra documentation requested will include the following elements:

The manufacturer and model/number of the power wheelchair ordered, delivered and used by the patient, which must be the same item for which the claim is being submitted.
Copies of the Progress Notes from the medical chart of the treating physician who is ordering the power wheelchair. These notes must be relevant to the diagnoses listed on the CMN, and address functional levels justifying the need for the power wheelchair (according to the DMERC RMRP). One entry in the Progress Notes should certainly refer to the ordering of the power wheelchair along with reasons for its need, considering the severity of the conditions for which power wheelchairs are required. It is also expected that several Progress Notes (with different dates of entry) will be present within the treating physician's medical chart, referring to the condition and associated limitations of function, and these notes are to be included as well. If hospital records such as a discharge summary adequately address a qualifying condition and functional level at the time of discharge justifying need for a power wheelchair in the home, these will also be helpful.

Physicians who express concerns about patient confidentiality may be reassured that when the patient signs the HCFA-1500 claim form which is submitted for the power wheelchair, the patient grants the Medicare Carrier (the DMERC) authority to secure medical records in order to establish the medical necessity of equipment for which Medicare is being billed. Since only Progress Notes pertaining to the relevance of the need for the power wheelchair are required, this information should not be considered beyond the professional scope of the supplier, who must properly equip and fit the beneficiary with this item (as well as assess the particular home environment in which it is to be used). Failure to provide adequate and relevant copies of the treating physician's Progress Notes from the physician's medical chart of the patient will be considered lack of adequate medical necessity documentation, and claims for K0010-K0014 will be denied as medically unnecessary.

If the Progress Note entries of the treating physician do not address the following details of a thorough functional assessment of the patient, it may also be necessary to obtain an evaluation by one of these professionals: 1) a physiatrist (physician specializing in rehabilitation medicine), 2) a physical therapist licensed in the state where the evaluation is being performed, or 3) an occupational therapist certified by the national certifying board and who has met any regulations for licensure, certification, or registration by the state in which the evaluation is performed. From whichever of these professionals, the following details of functional ability should be addressed: condition necessitating use of a power wheelchair; date of onset of this condition; progression of the condition and prognosis; semi-quantitative assessment of strength in the extremities; the presence or absence of increased muscle tone or spasms; trunk stability and sitting posture; quantification of the patient's ability to ambulate and what assistance (e.g., cane, walker, other person, etc.) is needed for this (if applicable); ability to transfer from bed/chair to wheelchair (including the ability to stand and pivot); endurance; cognitive abilities; visual impairments; description of current wheelchair (if applicable), age of equipment, and why it is being replaced.

Suppliers will also be asked to furnish a valid telephone number for the beneficiary, the ordering physician, and the physiatrist, physical therapist or occupational therapist who submitted the patient/wheelchair evaluation.

Failure to respond to a request for this extra documentation, or submitting documentation which is not complete in all of the requested details may result in claim denial if medical necessity cannot be established based on the information which is received.

Pro-Tech Medical Opens New CPAP Clinic in Shelbyville, TN

Donnie Springer, RRT





On Wednesday, August 5th, from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., Pro-Tech Medical will host an Open House for their new CPAP Clinic. The CPAP Clinic is a new venture for Pro-Tech Medical to provide a local place for customers needing or who already have CPAP equipment and/or supplies.

CPAP equipment is typically prescribed to remedy sleep apnea. A person needing a CPAP machine will usually go through the steps of meeting with a physician, attending an overnight sleep study, and working with an RT to determine the appropriate machine and supplies. Once set up with their equipment, the RT will monitor compliance and be available for consultation.

The CPAP Clinic will provide those people in the local Bedford and surrounding counties a trusted resource for sleep therapy equipment.

"Pro-Tech Medical has been leading the durable medical equipment industry since 1983. We see this new clinic as an extension of our years of expertise in respiratory equipment," said Bob Crandall, CEO of Pro-Tech Medical. "Our plan for this clinic is to make it a place centered around the needs of the customer."

As part of the Open House, Pro-Tech Medical is inviting people to bring their equipment in for a complimentary cleaning and inspection. Once there, a general Sleep Screening test will be available for those suspecting that they might be a candidate for sleep therapy. Door prizes will be given away throughout the day.

Donnie Springer, RRT, will be available for consultation on respiratory issues, sleep therapy equipment, and to meet current and future customers.

The CPAP Clinic is located at Pro-Tech Medical in Shelbyville, TN - 1608 N. Main Street, Suite A. Local phone number is 931-685-9982.

Former University of Tennessee QB Works to Repeal Home Oxygen Cuts

Recently, Congressmen Tom Price, M.D. (R-Ga.) and Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) introduced the Home Oxygen Patient Protection (HOPP) Act, H.R. 2373, in the House of Representatives. The HOPP Act restores payments for home oxygen therapy through the beneficiary’s period of medical need (repealing the 36 month cap).

In 2006, Congress dramatically changed policy for oxygen therapy by capping monthly reimbursements to providers after 36 months of use. Before that policy took effect, the home oxygen provider was reimbursed as long as the oxygen was medically necessary, and the oxygen provider took responsibility for maintenance, a back-up system, 24-hour emergency service, and other services required for proper use and patient safety.
