Nashville, TN, July 14, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Are mobility scooters free or will health insurance/Medicare pay for it?
There is no way to get a scooter for free, technically. Insurance does cover them when certain guidelines are met but insurance premiums are costly so technically the scooter will never be free. If a physician writes a prescription to have a mobility scooter certain guidelines set by your insurance company have to be met in order to qualify for the device. The insurance company has the final say in whether very strict standards are met to get a mobility device. To find out what qualifications have to be met by a particular insurance to pay for the electric scooter, call the customer care number on the back of the insurance card and ask them. This information can be provided via email directly from the coverage criteria section of the insurance policy. Remember do not ask them if they cover mobility scooters, that's the wrong question. Asking the insurance what are the qualifications that one must have in order to have insurance cover the mobility scooter is the best way to get the information needed to know how the scooter is covered by the insurance carrier.

Anything from a cup holder to mirrors and some are even coming with a USB to charge cell phones while on the go.

If the scooter is going to be carried on the outside of a vehicle, consider a cover for the mobility device. There are even brackets that will attach an umbrella to your mobility scooter.
