Coverage explained

How to get a wheelchair or scooter covered by insurance

Want the detailed Medicare rules?

Medicare Part B covers wheelchairs and scooters as durable medical equipment when medically necessary and prescribed for use in your home. Power equipment requires more documentation than manual.

  1. 1

    Face-to-face mobility evaluation

    Part B covers power wheelchairs and scooters only when they're medically necessary. You have a face-to-face examination and a written prescription from your treating provider before Medicare covers the equipment.

  2. 2

    Home assessment for power equipment

    Power chairs and scooters require confirmation the device can be used in your home. Leave your name, phone, and email; we'll follow up.

  3. 3

    Prior authorization when required

    Ask us whether prior authorization applies for the specific billing code. Leave your name, phone, and email; we'll follow up.

  4. 4

    Rental vs. purchase

    Wheelchairs may be rented or purchased under Medicare depending on the equipment, and some rented items become your property after a certain number of rental payments. Leave your name, phone, and email; we'll follow up.

What patients typically pay

After the Part B deductible, you pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount if your supplier accepts assignment. Ask us about your current benefits and your expected out-of-pocket cost. Benefit information is an estimate, not a guarantee of payment.

Mobility FAQ

Wheelchair and mobility scooter coverage questions

Official coverage sources

You can read payer rules here; ask us what your own plan allows.

It takes a face-to-face evaluation in which the treating practitioner documents that you cannot complete mobility-related activities of daily living inside your home without a chair, an order for the right type of chair, and prior authorization where the specific code and plan require it. Ask us how the documentation and decision process works.

Ask us when your plan covers a power chair - for example, when documentation shows a cane, walker, or manual chair will not meet your in-home mobility needs - and whether prior authorization applies to your order. If an order is delayed or denied, ask us about the next steps.

Medicare Part B covers power-operated vehicles (scooters) if you're eligible - ask us how the rules apply to your situation.

Medicare covers a scooter when it is medically necessary for use in your home. After the Part B deductible you typically pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, and a secondary plan may reduce your share.

Ask us whether your plan covers walkers, rollators, canes, crutches, and transport chairs with a prescription documenting a mobility limitation, and how long approval takes.

Leave your name, phone, and email; we'll follow up.

Timing depends on the item and your plan. Ask us for a current estimate.
