Medicare for Handicap ScootersGuidelines

If you have limited mobility due to a medical condition, you may qualify for a handicap scooter. If your physician prescribes a scooter, it may be considered medical equipment and can be purchased from a Durable Medical Equipment (DME) provider. Medicare Part B may cover a part of the cost of a power mobility device, such as a handicap scooter if it’s medically necessary. A face-to-face examination with your doctor is required, and your doctor must consider the use of a cane, walker, and manual wheelchair before considering a handicap scooter. Your medical records must show that your limited mobility must be resolved with a handicap scooter.

For Medicare Part B to reimburse DME, such as a handicap scooter, other criteria must be met. The handicap scooter must be necessary and reasonable in either treating an injury or illness or improving the function of a compromised body part. The handicap scooter must be used primarily in the individual’s home.
