Answer: Yes, you may buy the Medline Standard Ankle Walkers from us, but please make sure to select the right size before placing the order. Also, we do not deal in Medicare directly, but would definitely provide you with a paid invoice which you can use to claim reimbursement. We also advise you to first ensure whether the product will be reimbursed or not.
