A: As we do not take insurance directly, you will need to contact your medical insurance provider to be sure. Generally if you have a doctor's recommendation they will reimburse you for the purchase of medical equipment.

Q:Can you tell me whether or not the rollers on the casters of the U-Step 2 Walker can roll on carpet floors, easily, as the unit is pushed?
Asked by: Judy Bennington
- 8/16/2015
A: Carpet floors will increase the rolling resistance on the walker, making it more difficult to push. However, the thickness of the carpet and amount of padding underneath should be taken into account. A thinner carpet might not have a significant impact on walker, but thicker carpet can.

Q:How much does the U Step 2 weigh? What are the recommendations for people who have had lumbar 4 fusions. I have a Up Walker and it helps me to stand up tall. Now I have Parkinson's also and have fallen several times. Where can I see the U step in the Boston-Worchester (01581) area?
Asked by: Jean Meggison

A: The walker weighs 22 pounds with the seat. The U-Step walker with platform attachments will allow you to stand up tall like the Up Walker. The base is more stable and adjustable for users with PD. Contact your local physical therapy clinic to see if they have a demo unit available.

A: The U-Step Neuro is the only neurological walker covered by Medicare. For example, it is covered for Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Stroke, to name a few of the more common conditions, where a person would use the U-Step Neuro. Medicare also covers if for people who have limited use of one hand and need one-handed brake controls. The U-Step Neuro Medicare code (HCPCS) is E0147. Medicare reimburses up to $400.
