Walker
Insurance Information for Walkers
Medicare covers a walker for patients who can walk, but need additional support that cannot be provided by a cane or
crutch(es). An order (prescription) must be on file with the supplier. It must be signed and dated by the treating doctor. Medicare will pay for this item as a one time purchase rather than a rental.
Most insurers follow similar coverage guidelines as Medicare. Please note that most insurers will only pay for a walker one time so do not discard this item when no longer needed.
