Medicare pays about $91,000 for a personal exoskeleton — most people still don't know

Nov 9, 2026

The biggest exoskeleton story of the decade isn't a device — it's a billing code. In 2024, Medicare reclassified personal exoskeletons into its braces benefit and set a payment amount of roughly $91,032 under code K1007, based on prices paid for the ReWalk Personal and similar devices. Ekso's Indego Personal received its payment determination that April; a 2026 industry fee tracker puts the median allowance near $95,081.

In practice: a Medicare Part B beneficiary with a qualifying spinal cord injury, a prescription, and the ability to use the device safely can have Medicare pay 80% of the approved amount after the deductible. Two caveats we keep repeating: Medicare Advantage plans decide for themselves (some list exoskeletons as non-covered), and the supplier/documentation process is real work — the device makers' reimbursement teams exist to do it with you.
