Can I Get Incontinence Supplies Covered by Idaho Medicaid?
Idaho currently provides incontinence products (medical supplies) for both children and adults as one of the medically necessary items under its Medicaid coverage.
Under Idaho Medicaid benefits, individuals may qualify to receive a combination of pull-ups (pull-ons), adult briefs (adult diapers), pediatric and youth diapers, disposable underpads, bladder control pads, and gloves. Unfortunately, wipes are not covered by Idaho Medicaid. Your Medicaid benefits may also cover catheters.
To check your eligibility for incontinence products through Aeroflow Urology for yourself or your loved one, simply complete our Eligibility Form. Medicaid recipients will receive a unique mix of products with specific absorbency levels to meet the unique needs of the individual.

I Don't Qualify. What Can I Do?
If you or a loved one has incontinence and you don’t qualify for incontinence products through your Idaho Medicaid plan, you may be able to go to your local diaper bank, such as the Idaho Diaper Bank, or a diaper drive to get free products. Low-income families may qualify for free diapers through a diaper program, along with other healthcare products, including those that protect against adult incontinence and pediatric incontinence.
They may carry adult diapers, protective underwear, kid’s diapers, kid’s pull-ups, and underpads, along with other incontinence supplies you might need.
FAQs
-
Does Idaho Medicaid have to be my primary insurance provider? Incontinence products can be provided for any beneficiaries who have Idaho Medicaid as their primary or secondary provider.
-
How many supplies does Idaho Medicaid cover per month? The number of briefs, pull-ups, and other supplies you receive will depend on what is allowed by Idaho's Medicaid plan as well as your prescription. Your Aeroflow Urology specialist will let you know exactly the quantity you are eligible to receive.
-
I have Idaho 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.
-
I submitted my information to Aeroflow Urology. When will I know if I’m approved for free incontinence 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 844-276-5588 and we would be happy to check into your account and provide an update. Our office is open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm ET.
-
What about a prescription? Can Aeroflow help? Idaho Medicaid requires a prescription in order to cover continence 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.
