How do I order a scooter for my husband through Medicare?

We contacted the scooter companies directly and they were really helpful. They know how to get medicare to pay.

As others have said a doctor needs to order it as a medically necessary.
I would not order one on line at least until some have been tried so that the right "fit" can be ordered. Kinda like buying a car and not test driving it.
If your husband is a Veteran the VA may provide one and you would not have to worry about Medicare billing.

You need an order from your doctor like said. If there is a Durable equipment store near you, they may have them in stock or can order you one. They will do the Medicare billing. Personally, I would want to make sure the scooter is a good fit before ordering.

Medicare would need confirmation from his doctor that the scooter is medically necessary. The doctor's office could even take care of ordering it for your husband.

Good luck.
