How can I get a rollator walker? My doctor wrote a prescription for it.

I would try a DME store first, especially if it's affiliated with a hospital.    I've found that their staff are more knowledgeable, especially in explaining how to use the levers and handles, as well as adapting the leg adjustments for each individual.  I can't recall for sure but I believe some measurements were taken so that hands could easily adapt to the level of the handlebars.   

Fitting is critical so the user isn't bending over or having to position his/her hands too high.

The kind with a basket is very useful and helpful, and provides for carrying a small amount of supplies or whatever.   My father always used it to carry his religious materials for church.

George is correct about some durable equipment. I also think he means Medicare even though Medicaid does pay for some durable equipment.

I was aware that Hospital Beds are rented by Medicare. So they need to be returned to the place received from. Not aware wheelchairs were. But my understanding is once the payments meet the cost of the item, the equipment is yours. I don't this pertains to smaller items like walkers and rollators. But a good question to ask. At one time, shower chairs were not covered by Medicare. I know weird, since they cover things you wouldn't think they would.

I just got my mom a wheelchair about 6 months ago. I learned most doctors don't even know the procedure. I went to a medical supply store that bills Medicaid, you may have to call several stores as not all will. The store had their own form the doctor needed to fill out, they said the prescription was completely useless. My mom's clinic then faxed them the proper paperwork and the store called for me to pick up the wheelchair. You should note Medicaid makes monthly payments and they said if my mom would go on Hospice, go to a Nursing Home or die within 12 months, the equipment would have to be returned. Also, you can buy the exact same equipment for far less money at places like WalMart but they won't bill Medicaid. I've also found used stuff at Good Will for next to nothing.

You need to find a Durable equipment store near you. Take the prescription with you and ur Medicare and supplimental cards. The store will bill either your Medicare or/and your supplimental if they pay for durable equipment. Check with the pharmacies in your area to see if they carry the equipment and will bill Medicare. Not sure if you buy one outright if Medicare or ur supplimental will reimburse you. Something to find out.

I got a nice one for my nephew at WalGreens. $140 with a seat and storage place under the seat. With my rewards card he got $27 back. Didn't need a prescription to buy it since he paid for it.

A rolling walker is Durable Medical Equipment (DME).

Call your insurance company and find out if you are covered and what the procedure is.

Mom got one with her insurance through Medicare.

It’s a basic model.

You can order one online or go to a store if you desire a fancier one that you pay out of pocket for.

My mother is bed bound now and in hospice but when she did walk she loved the walker for stability. They do help. Of course, a person can still fall.

I don’t know what your situation is. Mom has Parkinson’s disease so there are serious mobility issues with Parkinson’s disease.

Mom liked the rolling walker (rollater) with a seat attached. We called it her trunk for her purse!

I you expect your insurance to pay for it, contact them and see what their procedure is.

If you are paying for it yourself, you can order online or go in person to a store that carries several models to try them out.

This company offers some interesting models, but they are more expensive than the regular ones available at Amazon or Costco.com:
