The Kentucky Medicaid program is a state-run insurance option for adults, children, senior citizens, and individuals with disabilities living in Kentucky.
Can I Get Incontinence Products Through Kentucky Medicaid?
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, qualifying adults can receive a combination of:
- Pull-ups / pull-ons (protective underwear).
- Adult diapers.
- Disposable underpads.
- Bladder control pads.
- Wipes and gloves.
With Kentucky Medicaid, children may be able to receive a combination of:
- Diapers
- Pull-ups.
- Accessories like gloves, underpads, and wipes.
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 be approved for medical supplies under Kentucky Medicaid, you must have the following items. Our Continence Care Specialists will help you gather all of this necessary information:
- The medical reason for needing supplies (incontinence diagnosis with correlating medical condition or special need).
- The estimated amount of incontinence care products needed each day (i.e. 5 booster pads, 2 briefs, etc.).
