We all know how important supplying full and pertinent information is when requesting funding for a medical device, wheelchair or standing frame. It can make or break you regardless of the obvious clinical needs.

I think that of all of these devices standing frame justification is the least understood by people with disabilities, their caregivers, and by clinicians. Altimate Medical has just released a pretty good funding guide for such devices. If you plan to approach your funder for a stander then you need to check this out first.

Altimate Medical, Inc. is proud to announce the release of the new “Funding Guide for Standing Technology”. A condensed printed version of the guide directs people to enhanced online resources that are available on www.easystand.com/funding. Providing all-inclusive funding and research information online, instead of print, keeps the information up-to-date, accessible, and produces less paper waste.

The goal of the “Funding Guide to Standing Technology” is to educate clinicians, consumers and suppliers on the process of obtaining a standing frame. The online “Funding Guide to Standing Technology” consists of extensive resources including: a new funding video, a checklist for writing a successful letter of medical necessity, a directory of legal services, HCPCS coding information, tips on navigating through the appeals process, research studies on standing, and more.
