Summary
Illinois requires annual reporting from nursing facilities on Medicaid-eligible residents who received motorized wheelchairs. This is an administrative data collection requirement to comply with a federal consent decree, not a billing policy change.
Action Required
No action required for medical billing teams. This policy only applies to nursing facility administrators who must submit resident data to Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services within 15 days of receiving the department's annual request.
