Common questions
- How many medical supply stores are in the United States?
- 88,546 appear in this directory across 56 states and territories. The count comes from the federal NPI registry, so it covers businesses enrolled to supply equipment or dispense prescriptions, not every shop that happens to sell a cane.
- Will a medical supply store have crutches in stock?
- Usually carries underarm and forearm crutches, walkers, canes, and knee scooters. Most bill Medicare and private insurance, which needs a prescription from your doctor.
- Do I need a prescription to buy crutches there?
- Not to buy. Crutches are an over-the-counter purchase anywhere in the US. A prescription is only required when you want Medicare or private insurance to cover the cost. How coverage works.
