- A healthcare provider’s diagnosis of incontinence with the disability or underlying medical condition that causes your incontinence, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Down syndrome, spinal cord injury, etc.
- An estimated number of incontinence products required for protection on a daily basis (i.e. 3 diapers, 2 bladder control pads, 1 pull-on).
- Must be 3 years of age or older.
- Must be a Medicaid recipient in the state you live in. Each person applying for Medicaid-covered incontinence supplies must be beneficiaries of their own Medicaid plan.

A CMN is documented proof from your healthcare provider within the last 6 months that your supplies are “medically necessary.” You may also need a written prescription from your healthcare professional for incontinence supplies.
