For patients and families

Your doctor has seen you and noted that walking safely at home is hard for you.
A walker would help you get around your home for everyday tasks, like getting to the bathroom or kitchen.
You can use a walker safely, on your own or with a caregiver.
If a heavy-duty walker is ordered, your weight is noted in your records.

You don't have to collect any of this yourself. We request it from your doctor.

For providers and case managers

Standard written order: patient name or Medicare number, order date, item description, quantity, practitioner name or NPI, and practitioner signature.
Notes documenting the mobility limitation and how it affects daily activities in the home.
Notes showing the patient can use the walker safely and that it resolves the limitation.
Notes supporting any specific features ordered (for example heavy-duty or wheels).
