Medicare requires a Certificate of Medical Necessity, also known as CMN, to be completed by your physician based on your medical condition. Generally, Medicare will only pay for the seat lift mechanism if the patient has a neuromuscular disease or severe arthritis of the hip or knee that completely prevents the patient from standing up from a regular armchair or any chair in their home. Medicare will cover 80% of the set allowable. Your supplement or Medicaid should cover the 20% balance.
