Read these numbers carefully. "Medicare allowed" is the average amount the programme permitted this supplier per unit, not a cash price and not a quote: what you pay depends on your coverage, and a self-pay price is set by the store. "People served" counts Medicare beneficiaries only, so a busy cash-and-carry counter can show a small number. Counts under 11 are withheld by CMS to protect patient privacy, which is why some rows read "under 11" rather than a figure.
What to ask when you call
5 questionsMedicare billing shows this location has supplied walking aids, which is a good sign, though not proof they stock crutches specifically. Five minutes on the phone settles it. These are the questions worth asking, in order.
-
Do you have crutches in stock today, and which kinds?
Ask for the type by name: underarm, forearm, or a knee scooter. "Crutches" alone usually gets you a yes about the cheapest aluminium pair.
-
What height range and weight rating do they cover?
A standard pair fits roughly 5'2" to 5'10" and is rated near 250 to 300 lb. Outside that you need a specific product, not an adjustment.
-
What is the cash price if I do not use insurance?
Often faster and sometimes cheaper than a claim, especially against a deductible you have not met.
-
Do you bill Medicare or my plan, and do you need a prescription first?
Insurance needs an enrolled supplier and a written order from your clinician. Ask before you drive over, not at the counter.
-
Can someone set the height and the handgrips for me before I leave?
Fit is what decides whether crutches hurt. Getting it done in the shop takes two minutes and saves a fortnight of sore hands.

Is this your business?
You are listed because your business appears in the federal registry of medical equipment suppliers, which is public record. You did not sign up, and you do not need an account.
Listing here is free and always will be. There is no paid placement on this site, no way to buy a higher position, and nothing to upgrade. If anyone contacts you asking for money to appear here, or to stay here, it is not us.
To fix your details
Update your record at nppes.cms.hhs.gov. That corrects it everywhere the federal registry is used, not only here, and our next rebuild picks it up on its own. It is the better fix, even though it is slower.
