Buying crutches in Louisiana
- Where is the best place to buy crutches in Louisiana?
- For same-day pickup, a pharmacy near you is usually fastest and cheapest for basic underarm crutches. For a proper fitting, more than one style to try, or anything you plan to use for months, a medical supply dealer is the better stop. Baton Rouge has the widest choice in the state with 337 listed suppliers.
- Does Louisiana Medicaid or Medicare pay for crutches?
- Medicare Part B treats crutches as durable medical equipment and generally pays 80% of the approved amount after your deductible, provided you have a written order and use a supplier enrolled in Medicare. State Medicaid rules vary. See the full breakdown.
- How many crutch suppliers are in Louisiana?
- 3,092 businesses across 228 places are registered with Medicare as equipment suppliers or pharmacies. Not every one keeps crutches in stock, which is why each listing here carries a phone number.
