1. Do you have Medicare Part B, or a Medicare Advantage plan that includes Part B benefits?
2. Does a mobility limitation affect daily activities inside your home, such as dressing, bathing or using the toilet?
3. Are a cane or walker insufficient to meet that need safely?
4. Is a manual wheelchair insufficient for your in-home mobility needs?
5. Can you safely transfer onto a scooter, use its tiller and remain stable while seated?
6. Does your home have enough room and suitable surfaces to use a scooter safely?
7. Have you discussed a face-to-face assessment and written equipment order with your treating provider?

Your next steps

  1. Talk with your treating provider about your needs inside the home and the most suitable device.
  2. Confirm the order, documentation and any prior authorization with your provider and supplier before delivery.
  3. Check supplier Medicare enrollment, assignment and your expected costs. Medicare Advantage members should also check plan network and authorization rules.
