In a recent statewide expansion, Florida Medicaid coverage now applies to adult incontinence supplies for low-income adults aged 21 and older.

Floridians who previously didn't qualify for these products under a Medicaid plan may now be eligible to receive them at no cost. If you or a loved one could benefit from this change, use this article to learn how you can get free incontinence supplies covered by Florida Medicaid through Aeroflow Urology.

About Florida Medicaid Expansion

The Florida Health Justice Project and Disability Rights Florida filed a class action lawsuit against the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), which had been denying coverage for medically necessary incontinence supplies for adults aged 21 and older. The lawsuit was successful, resulting in a settlement.

As a result, Florida Medicaid now provides coverage for medically necessary incontinence supplies for adults over the age of 21, regardless of whether they are on a Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver. If you require incontinence supplies, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider.

Benefits of Medicaid Expansion for Florida Residents

Especially for low-income individuals and families, this Medicaid expansion in the state of Florida can benefit Floridians statewide.

Some benefits that expanding Medicaid statewide could provide to Florida residents are:

  • More health coverage for low-income individuals.
  • Better health outcomes due to better access.
  • Economic benefits for the state and economic stability for families and individuals.
  • Decreased insurance premiums for the uninsured.
  • Easier access to mental health and substance abuse treatment.
