Q: How old does a child have to be before Medicaid or a Medicaid HMO will cover incontinence supplies?
A: Medicaid or a Medicaid HMO will only cover supplies if the child is older than 3 years of age. Prior to the age of 3, there is little way of knowing if the child will remain incontinent.
Q. How do I know if my Insurance will cover incontinence supplies?
A: Medicare does NOT cover these items. Most commercial insurances do NOT cover these items. You must call the number on the back of your insurance card to find out. Medicaid and Medicaid HMO’s will cover incontinence supplies. Learn more about the health plans we accept.

Q. Do I need a prescription?
A. Yes. Medicaid and Medicaid HMO’s will only cover the products if a physician deems them medically necessary.

Q. How often can I get products?
A. Medicaid and Medicaid HMO’s allow you to get products every 30 days.
Q. Why do I get so many papers to sign?
