Hoveround Corporation often did not claim Medicare reimbursement for power mobility devices (PMDs) in accordance with Medicare requirements. Medicare Part B covers PMDs, which include power wheelchairs and power-operated vehicles. High incidences of fraud and improper payments have been historically associated with PMDs. In 2010, Hoveround received almost $50 million for PMD claims, the second-largest Federal reimbursement for PMDs supplied to Medicare beneficiaries.
