Overview

The Scooter Store was a prominent American provider of power wheelchairs and mobility scooters, headquartered in New Braunfels, Texas. Founded in 1991, the company became a market leader in the durable medical equipment (DME) sector, largely through aggressive television advertising campaigns. It specialized in navigating Medicare and private insurance claims for seniors and individuals with limited mobility to provide them with power-operated vehicles. However, the company faced significant federal investigations regarding Medicare overbilling and aggressive sales tactics. These legal and financial challenges eventually led to the company's bankruptcy and total cessation of operations in 2013.
