Assistive Technology

Assistive technology is any item, piece of equipment, or system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities. For example, Closed Circuit Television is an assistive technology that Medicare will cover if medically necessary. Simple items like grabbers and reachers are not covered by Medicare.
