- I have Florida Medicaid, so why don’t I qualify for supplies? You should have received an email outlining why you or your loved one were not approved for supplies. The reason could be due to the following: Aeroflow Urology is not in network with your Medicaid plan, or our contract may not allow us to provide the supplies you are requesting, you may not meet your insurance provider’s age requirement, incontinence supplies are not a covered item under your Medicaid plan, or you or your loved one's disability may not be a qualifying condition under your plan.
