Will Medicare Pay For A Quad Cane? 
Yes , Medicare will pay for a quad cane if it is prescribed by a doctor as medically necessary for support in walking . An exception might be if you were using a walker and went `` backwards '' to using a cane . Medicare will not pay for a downgrade like that , but would pay for an upgrade -LRB- e.g. single point cane upgrade to quad cane -RRB- .
