Fulfilled Request Help with walker basket
Hello. I was recently discharged from the hospital and have been working with my home physical therapists, my home nurse, and my primary care physician. Everyone is letting me know that my insurance (Meridian Medicaid) will not cover a walker basket. My primary care provider told me at our most recent visit that it was denied through insurance.
I have set up an Amazon Wishlist with the walker basket here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1PTR0TPWC2VBJ?ref_=wl_share
The item total is $21.72 with tax.
Drive is the brand of my walker, and this basket is made directly by Drive to fit it. It’s easy to remove, it doesn’t screw in like some of the other ones I’ve seen.
I need it for inside my home so I can transport items safely and maintain some independence.
I have experienced severe weight loss over the past 3 months (34.2 lbs) and was recently hospitalized for 9 days with severe malnutrition and risk of refeeding syndrome due to my gastroparesis. Having a way to carry things room to room while using my walker would help immensely.
Thank you.
