HCPCS code E0627: Seat life mechanism, electric, any type

Coverage requires documentation that the individual (a) is unable to stand from a regular chair (but can ambulate once standing), (b) has severe arthritis or neuromuscular disease, (c) has failed conservative therapies, and (d) that the electric lift is part of practitioner-prescribed treatment.

Yes, Medicare Part B covers medically necessary seat lift mechanisms as DME, but it's important to meet all the documentation and medical necessity requirements. It's often subject to a 20% coinsurance.

No. Devices that catapult the user from seated to standing are considered unsafe and not medically necessary, and therefore not covered.
