What Is Required?
In order to be deemed eligible to receive protective products through Alaska Medicaid and Aeroflow Urology, you or your loved one will be required to provide the following and meet the following requirements.
- A diagnosis from a healthcare professional for incontinence with an underlying medical condition or disability that causes leakage, such as spina bifida, Parkinson’s disease, autism, etc.).
- An estimated amount of incontinence products you or your loved one will require every day (i.e. 10 diapers, 2 bladder control pads, 1 pull-on, etc.).
- Must be 3 years of age or older.
- Must be a Medicaid recipient in Alaska. Each individual applying for free incontinence products must be enrolled in their own Medicaid plan that covers incontinence products.
- A signed Certificate of Medical Necessity (CMN). This is documented proof from your healthcare provider within the last 6 months that your products are “medically necessary.” You may also be required to have a prescription for incontinence products from your healthcare provider. The required paperwork will be dependent on the requirements of your state.
