How to choose where to go
Need them today
Start with a pharmacy. Basic aluminum underarm crutches run about $25 to $45 and need no prescription.
Want insurance to pay
You need a written order from your clinician and a supplier enrolled in Medicare. How coverage works.
Using them for months
Forearm crutches beat underarm ones for long-term use and are rarely on a drugstore shelf. Where to find them.
A green tag means the supplier billed Medicare for that equipment in 2024, so it is proof of what they supplied, not proof of what is on the shelf today. Suppliers with no green tag are still registered suppliers; most equipment is bought without Medicare and never appears in billing data.

Buying crutches in Charlevoix
- Where can I buy crutches today in Charlevoix, MI?
- A pharmacy is usually the fastest option. 3 are listed on this page. Most retail pharmacies keep basic aluminum underarm crutches in stock for roughly $25 to $45 and do not need a prescription. Call first, because crutches are a low-turnover item and a single store may be out.
- Do I need a prescription to buy crutches in Michigan?
- No. Crutches are sold over the counter, and anyone can walk in and buy a pair. A prescription only matters if you want Medicare or private insurance to pay for them, in which case the supplier also has to be enrolled in Medicare and you need a written order from your clinician. More on how coverage works.
- What is the difference between the store types listed here?
- Usually carries underarm and forearm crutches, walkers, canes, and knee scooters. Most bill Medicare and private insurance, which needs a prescription from your doctor. The right call if you need crutches long term or need them fitted around a brace or prosthesis. Often carries forearm crutches that retail pharmacies never stock. Typically stocks basic aluminum underarm crutches off the shelf, sometimes a cane or a folding walker. Selection is thin and forearm crutches are rare.
- How current is this list for Charlevoix, MI?
- It is rebuilt from the federal NPI registry, which suppliers must keep updated to stay enrolled in Medicare. That makes it accurate about who is registered, but it says nothing about today's shelf stock or store hours. Always call ahead. If you spot a business that has closed or moved, tell us and we will correct it.
