If you do qualify for medicare reimbursement, R Martin well help you select a Medicare approved scooter and assist with the paperwork.
Here are the Medicare restrictions straight from the Medicare web site:
How Do I Qualify For a Scooter covered by Medicare?
You must have Medicare Part B coverage and your doctor must have assessed your needs, documented the need in your medical records, and wrote you an order (prescription) for the equipment (scooter). The supplier must have the order on file before billing for the scooter. In addition, the need for the scooter must meet the following criteria:
- You cannot walk on your own, even with the support of other mobility equipment
- You have weakness in your upper body caused by injury or illness and cannot use a manual wheelchair because of upper body weakness
- You would have to spend most of your time in bed or a chair without the scooter
- You can safely get on and off the scooter, as well as sit on it and work the controls
- You must need the scooter to help you move about independently. Medicare will not cover a scooter if the stated need is to prevent an injury.
One other Medicare restiction is that you must need it for getting around inside your home. Our scooters are used in the home and also for shopping, traveling, and getting outside to socialize with friends and family. Get out and enjoy life with the freedom and convenience of an affordable mobility scooter.
