What Is Required?

Our Continence Care Specialists will help you gather this necessary information to make the process simple. You or your loved one may also need to meet the following requirements to be eligible for coverage:
- 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. The required paperwork will be dependent on the requirements of your state.
