Back to TopI have insurance but how do I get reimbursed for medical equipment?
Many times the person who decides that a cane or walker is needed is the patient or a family member Contact your caregiver and let him/her know you need more security Choose the product that gives you the comfort and security that you need; Don't worry about the cost ( sometimes a less expensive product will cost you more, out of pocket, than the deluxe product - due to differences in reimbursement) Call Medicare 1-800-270-2313 or your insurance company and ask what conditions must be met to purchase a cane, walker, rollator, or other products Ask what amount is reimbursed on the product Then ask your doctor to write a prescription for the product, clearly stating the reason it is needed
For reimbursement, you will need your prescription; an insurance form and your paid receipt. Make copies of all these documents before you send them to the insurance company. Never send your only copy of a document to the insurance company - it may get lost!
