MO HealthNet requires pre-certification for standard walkers, walkers with trunk support, walkers with variable wheel resistance, and heavy duty walkers. However, MO HealthNet does not cover rollator walkers. Therefore, rollator walkers cannot be billed to MO HealthNet under HCPCS E0143 or E0149.
Providers can obtain pre-certification for walkers by calling the DME Pre-Certification Hotline (800-392-8030 option 2) or by using CyberAccess.
