How to Get Incontinence Supplies Covered by Kentucky Medicaid

Getting incontinence supplies shouldn’t be stressful or expensive. If you or a loved one has Kentucky Medicaid and is diagnosed with a qualifying medical condition, you may be eligible to receive products like adult briefs, pediatric diapers, or underpads at no cost.

This article will show you how to check your eligibility and explains how Aeroflow Urology makes the process simple — from gathering paperwork and coordinating with your doctor to shipping your supplies to your door each month.

Yes, if you qualify. Kentucky Medicaid deems incontinence products medically necessary items under its Medicaid coverage for both kids (ages 3+) and adults.

Under Kentucky Medicaid, eligible children (ages 3+) with Kentucky Medicaid may qualify to receive a combination of the following medical supplies and incontinence products:

• Diapers
• Pull-ups.
• Underpads. 
• Booster pads.

Eligible Kentucky Medicaid adults may qualify to receive a combination of:

• Pull-ons (protective underwear).
• Adult diapers.
• Disposable underpads.
• Booster pads.

At this time, wipes and gloves are not covered under Kentucky Medicaid plans.

Medicaid-covered incontinence products are provided through managed Medicaid health plans that vary by state. Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover incontinence products. However, Medicare does typically cover catheters.

To get free incontinence supplies through Kentucky Medicaid with Aeroflow Urology, you need to meet certain requirements based on your Medicaid plan. A dedicated Continence Care Specialist at Aeroflow Urology will help you collect everything you need to make the process easy:

• Must be 3 years of age or older.
• Must be a Kentucky Medicaid recipient.
• A documented medical reason for needing the supplies, such as an incontinence diagnosis linked to a condition or disability.
• The estimated amount of incontinence supplies needed per day (i.e. 4 bladder control pads, 3 adult briefs, etc.).
• A qualifying disability or medical condition that causes incontinence and is diagnosed by a healthcare professional, such as Alzheimer’s disease, spina bifida, Parkinson’s disease, 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.

Incontinence products covered by Medicaid are provided through managed care plans, which can be different in each state. In Kentucky, these supplies are usually offered through these provider names, known as Medicaid managed care plans:

• Wellcare
• Anthem
• United Healthcare.
• Humana
• Molina Passport.
• Aetna Better Health.
