Walkers, Wheelchairs and Medicare

Medicare is a program administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The program has four main parts, hospital insurance, medical insurance, advantage plans, and prescription drug coverage.

Part B helps cover doctor services and outpatient care. This part of Medicare also covers durable medical equipment that your doctor prescribes for use in your home. If you are prescribed a walker, wheelchair, nebulizer, hospital bed or any other item of durable medical equipment, some or all of the cost of the item may be covered by Medicare Part B.
