We can't even get a rolling-walker through Medicare [View all]

For my father-in-law.

The supplier "Apria" only has them with baskets (which he needs for his extra oxygen tank and supplies) and OBTW we haven't seen them without.

The required prescription for the walker from the Doctor cannot include a basket according to Medicare because they are deemed "not medically necessary". This is what the doctor's office is telling us.

So we are stuck going back and forth to maddening degrees.

The crackdown on Medicare fraud has caused much grief with it's unintended consequences. I am sure we are not alone.

Fucking Rick Scott can be Governor of Florida yet we are catching hell trying to get an old man a rolling walker.
