Mobility Scooter
A battery-powered scooter for getting around when walking far is difficult.
Quick answer
Global Dynamic Group, a veteran-built medical equipment company, offers the Mobility Scooter to TRICARE families across the western United States. TRICARE may cover this when a TRICARE-authorized provider prescribes it as medically necessary. Call intake at 910-527-7081 and a person confirms coverage and availability with you before anything is ordered.
Mobility scooters are steered with a tiller and powered by rechargeable batteries. Three-wheel models turn tightly indoors, while four-wheel models feel more stable outdoors.
