The VA route
Four steps, start to finish
None of this requires a lawyer, a claim, or a disability rating change. It is a conversation
with your provider, and it goes better when you bring the code with you.
1
Make sure you are enrolled in VA health care
Equipment comes through VA health care, not through a disability rating on its own. If you are not enrolled yet, apply at va.gov or call 1-877-222-8387.
Already seeing a VA provider? You are enrolled. Skip to step two.
2
Book with your VA provider or a Community Care provider
Any VA medical center, community based outpatient clinic, or provider in the VA Community Care Network can start the request. Primary care, physical therapy, and orthopedics all count.
You do not need a specialist referral to ask the question.
3
Ask for in-Motion crutches by name, and give the code
Say the product name and the HCPCS code together: in-Motion Pro Forearm Crutch, code E0110, or in-Motion Pro Underarm Crutch, code E0117. Ask for the code and the quantity to be written into the order.
E0110 is billed as a pair. E0117 is billed per crutch, so a pair is quantity 2. Getting the quantity wrong is the most common way a veteran ends up with one crutch.
4
Prosthetics takes it from there
Your VA medical center’s Prosthetic and Sensory Aids Service handles the order and the fulfilment. If you are going through Community Care, the provider puts the equipment on VA Form 10-10172 before they submit it.
Ask the clinic for the request number so you have something to follow up on.
Not sure how to word it? That is the most common reason people call us. We will tell you exactly what to say, or get the code sheet by email.
Rigid post: the impact of each step travels straight up the frame
Fixed tip that lifts off the ground when the crutch is planted at an angle
One-piece frame that does not fold
One adjustment for the whole crutch
in-Motion Pro forearm
Spring-loaded post compresses on impact and returns the energy as you push off
Articulating tip pivots to stay flat on the ground
Aluminum frame that folds, 2.2 lb per crutch, rated to 350 lb
Cuff height and grip height adjust independently, short and tall models
Why in-Motion
The spring is the difference.
A rigid crutch sends the impact of every step straight up the frame. The in-Motion post
compresses and rebounds instead, so the frame takes the step.
Shock-absorbing post
The spring-loaded post compresses as your weight lands and rebounds as you push off, so the frame takes the impact of the step rather than sending it straight up.
Articulating tip
The tip pivots to stay in full contact with the ground when the crutch is planted at an angle, which is most of the time in real use.
Built to move with you
Aluminum frame at 2.2 lb per crutch, folds for a car or an overhead bin, and adjusts in two places so the fit follows your body.
Find your fit
Two sizes, from 4'2" to 6'8".
Going through the VA, your provider sizes you; it helps to know which range you fall in.
Buying direct, pick the size on the store or check the chart first.

These crutches are amazing. This is my 4th set. The hand grips are extremely comfortable. There are springs on the legs which act as shock absorbers. Very comfortable, very lightweight. Each crutch weights about 2 lbs. The cane tips are the best. They will last longer than 4 or 5 sets of the regular tips you can buy st the drug stores.

In Motion Crutch Set I am very pleased with these crutches. Love how sturdy the hand grips are and spring motion of crutches. Also the inclusion of 2 size arm cuffs and extra tips are a plus!
Juanita OteroOctober 12, 2020★★★★★
I am so glad that I got these in-motion pro forearm crutches. When I finally got them I immediately knew they were good. The quality of this product feels very secure and just overall very comfortable. I am very happy with this product and I’m very happy with this company. You can tell they really care about the customer. I definitely recommend this product.
That decision belongs to the VA, made by your care team and your local Prosthetic and Sensory Aids Service. What we can tell you is that the in-Motion Pro forearm crutch has an established HCPCS code, E0110, that the VA already uses, and that naming the product and the code makes the request concrete instead of a general complaint about your current crutches. Nobody outside the VA can promise you an approval.
Is E0110 one crutch or a pair?
A pair. E0110 is billed as a pair, so quantity 1 gets you two crutches. Ask for the code and the quantity to be written into the order so there is nothing to interpret.
Does Medicare cover E0110?
Yes. E0110 is standard equipment under Medicare Part B. VA health care is a separate system with its own process, so if you are going through the VA the Medicare rule is not the one that applies. Either way, name the product and the code.
What size do I need?
The forearm crutch comes in two sizes: short fits about 4'2" to 5'5", tall fits about 5'3" to 6'8". The cuff and the grip adjust independently inside that range. Through the VA, your provider sizes you; buying direct, the store's chart goes by height, or call and we will work it out with you.
What will it cost me?
For most veterans, equipment the VA issues for a service-connected condition carries no copay. What you pay, if anything, depends on your VA Priority Group and why the equipment is being issued. Your VA facility can tell you exactly where you land before anything is ordered. If you would rather not wait on the VA at all, you can buy the same crutches directly for $149 a pair.
Forearm or underarm, which should I ask for?
Forearm crutches (E0110) carry the load through a cuff on your forearm and leave your hands free to open a door or carry something, which is why they are the usual choice for long-term or permanent use. Underarm crutches (E0117) are the familiar shape and are often easier to adapt to for a shorter recovery. Your provider should make the call with you, and we are happy to talk it through on the phone first.

No. This site is run by Millennial Medical, the company that manufactures the in-Motion crutch. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a contractor of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and we cannot approve, deny, or bill a VA claim. We publish this because veterans kept calling us asking which code to give their provider.
Ready to ask your VA?
Bring the product name, the code and the quantity. Or skip the wait and have a pair next week.
Both codes, the quantity to ask for, the exact words to use, and the four steps, on one page
you can print or keep on your phone for the appointment.
Next step
Tell us where you are and we will point you at the right next move.
Which code to ask for, how to word it for Community Care, or whether the
underarm model would suit you better. If buying direct makes more
sense for your situation, we will say so.
