Dear CRT Provider,

 

Welcome to the 2020 Medicaid Complex Rehab Technology (CRT) Survey. Medicaid coverage and payment policies play a critical role in adequate access to CRT and we need current information to provide effective advocacy. With that in mind, we are conducting this national survey to gather important information regarding CRT policies on a state-by-state basis. 

The data collected will enable us to examine the status and trends within state Medicaid programs and identify where advocacy action may be required. We have kept the survey as condensed as possible and appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions so that we can obtain an accurate analysis. If your company operates in more than one state, please complete a separate survey for each. 

For this survey, CRT is defined as individually configured manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, seating and positioning systems, standing devices, gait trainers, and other adaptive equipment and related accessories.

 

To make it easier to complete, we suggest you print out a blank copy of the survey here. You can then prepare your answers in advance and return to complete the survey online. 

 

Thanks for helping gather this important data so we can better understand coverage and payment for CRT in your state and identify areas requiring advocacy action. Should you have any questions, please email Mickae Lee at mlee@ncart.us.
