Criteria
for Scooters
If
you purchase a scooter from us, Medicare and Private insurance may reimburse you
if you meet there coverage criteria. We do not accept assignment on scooters. This
means that you must purchase the scooter first, then we will contact your doctor
for you and request the paperwork needed in order to file a claim with your
insurance company for reimbursement to you. We do not guarantee reimbursement
from Medicare or any Private Insurance companies. We will file the claim for
you with Medicare, or private insurances that are a PPO, if you qualify through
your doctor.
Sorry, we do not bill any HMO
insurances for reimbursement.
In order to file a claim with Medicare for a scooter, we must get a
prescription for an electric scooter, a Certificate of Medical Necessity (
CMN ) and a current Medical Face to Face Evaluation form. All requested
paperwork is used by Medicare to determine if the scooter is a
medical necessity.
An
electric scooter is usually covered when all of the following criteria is met:
 | A
POV (electric scooter) is usually covered only if it is ordered by a
physician who is in one of the following specialties: Physical Medicine,
Orthopedic Surgery, Neurology or Rheumatology
|
| The
patient must be unable to operate a manual wheelchair. |
| The
patients condition must be such that a POV is required for the patient to
get around in his or her residence. A POV that is beneficial only in
allowing the patient to perform leisure or recreational activities will
be denied as not medically necessary. |
