This bill would let suppliers charge Medicare patients extra for some ultralight manual wheelchairs. It would also create separate Medicare billing codes based on whether the wheelchair base uses titanium or carbon fiber.

Choices for Increased Mobility Act of 2026 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
Latest action on H.R. 1703: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects Medicare patients who use or need ultralight manual wheelchairs. It also affects wheelchair suppliers because it changes how they bill Medicare and patients. Medicare officials would need to create and manage the new billing codes. The biggest day-to-day change is that some patients could be charged extra for titanium or carbon fiber wheelchair bases.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it could change what Medicare patients pay for some lighter, higher-cost wheelchairs. Today, Medicare payment rules may not clearly separate titanium or carbon fiber ultralight wheelchair bases from other models. The bill would make that split clearer in Medicare billing. It could give some patients more choice, but it does not cap the extra amount suppliers may charge.

The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
