(Procedure code 55100-01)

Vehicle modification is structural modification or adaptation to a motorized vehicle that enables an individual with a disability to access and operate said vehicle for use in achieving an agreed- upon employment goal. DVR will purchase vehicle modifications at the lowest available usual and customary rates.

Provider requirements include membership in good standing with the National Mobility Equipment Dealer Association (NMEDA) and Certification as a NMEDA-QAP (Quality Assurance Program) dealer who is thereby qualified to meet minimum standards for vehicle modifications and adapted driving equipment installation.
