Do You Qualify? Understanding Alaska Medicaid Eligibility for Incontinence Supplies
To receive incontinence supplies through Medicaid with Aeroflow Urology, you need to meet a few eligibility requirements. These requirements depend on your specific Medicaid plan.
Our Continence Care Specialists are here to help you gather everything you need and make the process easy. To see if you qualify, take a look at the following requirements:
-
Must be an Alaska Medicaid recipient.
-
Children must be 3 years of age or older.
-
A documented medical reason for needing the supplies, such as an incontinence diagnosis linked to a condition or disability.
-
An estimated number of incontinence products you need each day (for example, 5 diapers for kids, 3 disposable bladder control pads, etc.).
-
A qualifying disability or medical condition that causes incontinence and is diagnosed by a healthcare professional, such as autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Parkinson’s disease, Down syndrome, menopause, neurogenic bladder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), etc.
-
Depending on your insurance, a signed Certificate of Medical Necessity (documented proof from your doctor within the last 6 months that your items are medically necessary) and / or a prescription from your healthcare provider.
Navigating Medicaid Managed Care Plans in Alaska
Incontinence products covered by Medicaid are provided through managed care plans, which vary by state.
Alaska does not have Medicaid managed care plans, meaning that you can only get Medicaid coverage through:
-
DenaliCare. This covers adults who qualify under Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) and Non-MAGI Medicaid. Check if you qualify for DenaliCare as an adult.
-
Denali KidCare. This covers children from birth to age 18 and pregnant women who meet Alaska Medicaid income limits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Alaska Medicaid cover?
Alaska Medicaid covers doctor, hospital, and emergency services. It may also cover certain medically necessary medical supplies or durable medical equipment, depending on eligibility, provider enrollment, and prior authorization requirements.
Does Alaska Medicaid have to be my primary insurance provider?
Incontinence products can be provided to any beneficiary who has Alaska Medicaid / DenaliCare or Denali KidCare as their primary or secondary provider. This means that if you or your loved one has Medicaid as a secondary insurance, you can still use it to cover what your primary plan doesn’t.
How many supplies does Alaska Medicaid cover per month?
The number of briefs, pull-ons, and other supplies you receive will depend on what is allowed by Alaska’s Medicaid plans, as well as your prescription. Your Aeroflow Urology specialist will let you know how many supplies you are eligible to receive.
What is the income limit for Medicaid in Alaska?
The income limit for Medicaid recipients in Alaska changes yearly. Learn more about Alaska Medicaid income limits.
I have Alaska Medicaid, so why don’t I qualify for supplies?
You should receive an email explaining why you or your child were not approved for incontinence supplies. Common reasons include: Aeroflow Urology isn’t in-network, the items aren’t insurance-covered, you don’t meet age or eligibility rules, or the diagnosis may not be a qualifying condition under your insurance plan.
I submitted my information to Aeroflow Urology. When will I know if I’m approved for free diapers or other supplies?
One of our dedicated Continence Care Specialists will contact you via phone or email within 1-2 business days of submitting your information. If it has been longer than this time frame, please give us a call at 1-844-276-5588, and we’ll happily provide an update. Our office is open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm ET.
What about a prescription? Can Aeroflow help?
Alaska Medicaid requires a prescription in order to cover incontinence care products. If you do not have a prescription for you or your loved one, your Continence Care Specialist will reach out to your doctor directly for the paperwork.
I have Medicare. Why don’t I qualify for free incontinence supplies?
Unfortunately, Medicare does not currently deem incontinence products as “medically necessary,” so they do not cover supplies. However, they may cover your catheters.
