Buying crutches in Austin

Where can I buy crutches today in Austin, MN?
A pharmacy is usually the fastest option. 10 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 Minnesota?
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 Austin, MN?
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.
