How to Get Incontinence Supplies Covered by Connecticut Medicaid

Do you need incontinence supplies for yourself or a loved one but are concerned about the cost? If you qualify, you may be able to get these products at no charge through Connecticut Medicaid.

This article will explain how to find out if you’re eligible for free incontinence supplies through your Connecticut Medicaid plan — and how Aeroflow Urology can help you get what you need delivered each month.

Yes, if you qualify. Connecticut Medicaid provides coverage for medically necessary incontinence supplies for eligible children (ages 3+) and adults.

Eligible children with Connecticut Medicaid may qualify to receive a combination of the following medical supplies and incontinence products:

• Pull-ups.
• Diapers
• Underpads (chux).
• Gloves
• Booster pads.

Eligible adults with Connecticut Medicaid may qualify to receive a combination of:

• Adult diapers (adult briefs).
• Adult pull-ons (protective underwear).
• Booster pads.
• Underpads (chux).
• Gloves

Unfortunately, wipes are not covered under Connecticut Medicaid.

To receive free incontinence supplies through Connecticut Medicaid with Aeroflow Urology, you may need to meet the following eligibility requirements (depending on your Medicaid program health insurance plan). Our Continence Care Specialists will help you gather all of this necessary information to make the process simple:

• Must be a Connecticut Medicaid recipient.
• Your medical reason for needing supplies (incontinence diagnosis with correlating disability or medical condition).
• An estimated number of incontinence products you need every day (i.e. 4 pull-ons, 2 bladder pads, etc.).
• A qualifying disability or medical condition that causes incontinence and is diagnosed by a healthcare professional, such as autism, spina bifida, Alzheimer’s disease, etc. 
• Must be 3 years of age or older. 
• Depending on your insurance, a signed Certificate of Medical Necessity (a document from your doctor within the past 6 months verifying your items are medically necessary) and / or a prescription from your healthcare provider.

Medicaid-covered incontinence products are provided through Medicaid managed plans, which vary by state. 
Currently, in Connecticut, the state does not use traditional Medicaid managed care plans. Instead, the HUSKY Health program is run by the state, which handles coverage, payments, and care directly.

At Aeroflow Urology, we make it simple to get the incontinence supplies you need through your Connecticut Medicaid benefits. Your dedicated Continence Care Specialist will guide you through every step — from verifying your coverage to handling the paperwork.

As a trusted provider of durable medical equipment (DME), we carry top-quality products from brands our customers rely on, including:

• Attends 
• Prevail 
• Cuties 
• TENA

Whether you’re looking for adult diapers, bladder control pads, pediatric pull-ups, or even catheters, we’ll help you find the right fit to stay comfortable and confident every day.

To see if you or your loved one qualifies for products, fill out our secure Eligibility Form.

Our form has been HiTrust-certified, so you know your information is secure! After we confirm your benefits and supplies, your Continence Care Specialist will contact you within 1-2 business days or after hearing back from your healthcare provider to go over sizing and product needs. 

If you’re a caregiver, remember to fill out the form with your loved one’s information instead of your own!
