Medicaid

Medicaid May Cover Your Crutches.

When they're medically necessary, Medicaid covers crutches as durable medical equipment — usually at no cost to you. The rules vary by state, so here's how it works.

Medicaid Is Administered by Your State

Coverage and details differ from state to state. Pick yours to see where to start.

Crutches are covered when medically necessary — but you must use a supplier enrolled with your state's Medicaid program, and prior authorization may be required.

How Medicaid Differs

It Works Differently

With Medicaid, your supplier bills the state directly — you usually can't buy crutches yourself and get paid back (that's how insurance and FSA/HSA work). Your cost is typically $0, but you have to go through a Medicaid-enrolled supplier, and premium crutches like the in-Motion may not be covered.

3 Simple Steps

How to Get Them Covered

1

Get a prescription

Ask your doctor or physical therapist for a crutch prescription with a short note on why you need them (the medical reason).

2

Check your benefit & prior authorization requirements

Call the member services number on your Medicaid card and ask:

"Are crutches covered under my DME benefit — codes E0110 or E0117 — and do they need prior authorization?"
3

Use a Medicaid-enrolled supplier

They bill Medicaid directly, so your cost is usually $0. Make sure the supplier is enrolled in your state's program before you receive the crutches.

This isn't a coverage guarantee. Every state and situation is different. The only way to know your true benefit is to call your state Medicaid office and have the conversation yourself.
