Do All Insurance Plans Provide Coverage of Incontinence Supplies?
Although not all insurance plans list incontinence products as a benefit, there are many plans that do provide coverage of these necessary supplies.
Most state Medicaid plans will fully cover a specific number of incontinence supplies such as disposable briefs, pull-on underwear, and bladder control pads or male guards each month. Some Medicaid plans will also provide coverage of supplemental supplies such as gloves, wipes, and underpads.
Currently, Medicare and most commercial insurance plans do not list incontinence supplies as a covered benefit for their members. However, if you are a Medicare recipient with Medicaid secondary, you may be eligible for 100% coverage of incontinence products.
What Products Can I Receive Through Medicaid?

How Many Products Can I Receive Through My Medicaid Plan?
The quantity of incontinence products available to you through your Medicaid plan will depend on the specific benefits outlined under your plan as well as the needs determined by your healthcare provider. Your doctor will recommend a maximum quantity of products needed based on your level of incontinence as well as your estimated frequency of changes.
Based on that recommendation, companies such as these (link to list of companies) will work with your insurance to help you receive the maximum number of allowable products based on your needs. This number will often vary based on the product type that you will be utilizing.
How Do I Know If I’m Covered?
Providers of incontinence supplies through insurance such as the ones listed below, can help you determine your coverage for products through your Medicaid plan. They take the hassle out of working with your insurance company and will handle all the communication and paperwork on your behalf. They’ll even work with your healthcare provider to confirm your specific needs and get the appropriate documentation to ensure your supplies are fully covered.
The process to work with these companies is simple. Most likely, you will be required to fill out some forms and they’ll take care of the rest (just make sure to have your insurance card ready when completing the form). If you prefer to talk with someone over the phone, some of these companies have trained specialists that can help you via phone.
Once your information is received, your coverage will be verified, and you will be contacted to review your benefits. Your products will be shipped directly to your home on a recurring monthly basis, all completely covered by your Medicaid plan.
