Medicare Reimbursement / Payment Criteria for Scooters

Medicare will cover a scooter when all of the following criteria are met:

• The patient's condition is such that without the use of a wheelchair the patient would not be able to move around in their residence; and
• The patient is unable to operate a manual wheelchair; and
• The patient is capable of safely operating the controls for the scooter;
• The patient can transfer safely in and out of the scooter and has adequate trunk stability to be able to safely ride in the scooter; and
• It is ordered by a physician who is one of the following specialties: Physical Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery, Neurology, or Rheumatology.

Medicare will deny a scooter as not medically necessary when it is needed only for use outside the home. A scooter that is beneficial primarily in allowing the patient to perform leisure or recreational activities will be denied as not medically necessary.
