Will your insurance company let you pick one out, or do they have to approve the critter itself? Do they have a certain amount they will pay? For example, do they have a limit of $100 and if you want a "better" one, you pay the remainder?

last year when i wanted a cane i asked neuro for a script and she said, "why, you don't need one" so i explained how my tall umbrella helps me and she wrote a script for the cane...

in december, when visiting my new neuro, i asked for a rx for a rollator and he asked what it was... and then gave me the rx in standard lingo:

prescription for insurance purposes should say "rolling walker with a seat"

there usually isn't a limit on what you can spend on them... the non-medical are not covered (the basket)
