To receive free incontinence supplies through Michigan 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:

• 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. 3 pull-ons, 1 bladder pad, etc.).
• A qualifying disability or medical condition that causes incontinence and is diagnosed by a healthcare professional, such as menopause, autism, spina bifida, Alzheimer’s disease, etc. 
• Must be 3 years of age or older. 
• Must be a Michigan Medicaid recipient. 
• 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. In Michigan, Medicaid benefits — including incontinence supplies — are often managed through these provider names, known as Medicaid managed care plans:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield. 
• United Healthcare. 
• Meridian
• Molina
• Aetna Better Health.
• Priority Health.
• McLaren Health.
• Health Alliance Plan Empowered.
• Upper Peninsula Health Plan.

To complete our Eligibility Form and find out if you’re eligible for free incontinence supplies covered by Michigan Medicaid, you’ll need to have your insurance information ready. Insurance cards differ depending on the state you live in and the type of insurance you have (Michigan Medicaid or a Medicaid managed care plan), but you can find the following on your card:

If you are eligible for Michigan Medicaid, you can apply online and submit an application via newmibridges.michigan.gov. If you have questions or need help applying, you can call the Health Care Helpline at 1-855-789-5610.

If you or your loved one has incontinence and you don’t qualify for incontinence products through Medicaid, you may be able to go to your local 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, underpads, along with other incontinence supplies you might need.

Visit:

• Detroit Diaper Bank.
• Destiny and Purpose Community Outreach.

If you don't qualify for incontinence products with your current insurance plan, you may also be able to switch to a provider that offers incontinence supply coverage, such as Molina, McLaren Healthy Michigan Plan, or Health Alliance Plan Michigan.
