Matia Mobility obtains HCPCS code for Tek RMD: an innovative solution now covered by Medicare, commercial insurance and VA

SALT LAKE CITY , September 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Matia Mobility (https://www.matiamobility.com), a leader in durable medical equipment, is proud to announce that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has granted a HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) code to Tek’s RMD (Robotic Mobilization Device). This milestone makes standing mobility more accessible for wheelchair-bound individuals with walking disabilities, providing new opportunities for independence and improving physical and mental well-being.

The Tek RMD, now covered by Medicare, commercial insurance, and the U.S. Veterans Administration, is revolutionizing mobility by allowing users to stand and move at eye level, allowing them to fully participate in daily life. This includes tasks such as cooking, reaching high shelves, and participating in conversations and social interactions from a standing position, promoting both confidence and social inclusion.

Benefits of standing: more than just mobility

The ability to stand has long been recognized for its numerous health benefits. Physically, standing helps to improve circulation, reduce muscle atrophy, increase bone density, and aid digestive functions. These benefits are especially important for people who spend prolonged periods in a sitting position. Mentally, standing fosters a sense of empowerment and autonomy, reducing the emotional and psychological strain often associated with being in a wheelchair. Standing allows users to see the world from a new perspective, which positively impacts their self-esteem and social interactions.

In addition to the physical and mental health benefits, being at eye level allows people to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) with greater ease. Whether preparing meals, doing household chores, getting to work, or even pursuing hobbies and interests, the Tek RMD allows users to regain control of their lives in ways that were previously unimaginable. This is particularly impactful for veterans and others with service-connected disabilities, who can now experience a new level of freedom and dignity.

Expanded coverage and accessibility

With the passage of the HCPCS code, people across the country can access the Tek RMD more easily and financial barriers are significantly reduced. The inclusion of the device in Medicare coverage is complemented by support from major commercial insurers, making this innovative solution even more accessible. Coverage of the Tek RMD by the U.S. Veterans Administration is another important step in honoring and supporting veterans, particularly those who have suffered mobility-limiting injuries during their service.

“We are incredibly excited about this development,” he said. Steven BoalCEO of Matia Mobility. “Receiving the HCPCS code from CMS means more people will have access to Tek RMD’s life-changing benefits. Whether through Medicare, private insurance, or VA benefits, our goal is to help as many people as possible regain their independence and improve their quality of life.”
