Under Medicare Part B, you can purchase your power scooter through Medicare coverage. Power scooters, power chairs, and other mobility aids classify as durable medical equipment (DME). However, you must satisfy several conditions to qualify your power scooter purchase for coverage. Even with the help of a cane or crutch, your health condition must make it extremely difficult to move around your home and perform daily activities, like dressing, getting in and out of bed, bathing, and preparing meals. You must also be able to operate the power scooter safely. Also, you must be able to mount and dismount your power scooter or have a regular attendant on hand to assist you. Just as important, your treating physician and supplier must have Medicare approval.
