PENNIES FOR PROSTHETICS: AN UPDATE
On Monday, the governor of Washington state signed the first So EveryBODY Can Move law of 2025, requiring insurers to cover orthotic and prosthetic devices (including prosthetics for recreation, showering, and other activities) that are deemed medically necessary by a patient’s doctor. That brings the total of states that have passed SEBCM legislation to nine. Three additional states (Georgia, New Jersey, and Oregon) have passed SEBCM bills through one chamber of their respective legislatures and are likely to close the deal during this year’s session; seven other states have SEBCM bills at various points in the lawmaking pipeline.
