How to Get Incontinence Supplies Covered by Ohio Medicaid

Did you know that if you qualify, you could get incontinence supplies at no cost through Ohio Medicaid? If you or your loved one needs products like diapers, pull-ons, or underpads, you could be eligible to receive them if you meet certain requirements.

This article breaks down how to find out if you qualify and explains how Aeroflow Urology can help with the process — like handling the paperwork, coordinating with your doctor, and getting your supplies shipped discreetly to your home each month.

• Booster pads. 

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

*Unfortunately, wipes are not covered for Medicaid recipients in Ohio.

To get free incontinence supplies through Ohio 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:

• Your medical reason for needing supplies (incontinence diagnosis with correlating disability or medical condition).
• The estimated amount of incontinence supplies needed per day (i.e. 4 bladder control pads, 2 disposable underpads).
• A qualifying disability or medical condition that causes incontinence and is diagnosed by a healthcare professional, such as autism, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, spina bifida, etc.
• Must be 3 years of age or older.
• Must be an Ohio Medicaid recipient.
• 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.

Medicaid-covered incontinence products are provided through managed Medicaid plans that vary by state. In Ohio, Medicaid benefits, including incontinence supplies, are often managed through these provider names, known as Medicaid managed care plans:

• United Healthcare.
• Molina
• Buckeye Community Care.
• Paramount Advantage.
• Caresource
• Humana
• Anthem
• Amerihealth Caritas.

At Aeroflow Urology, we believe continence care products shouldn't come at a cost — because they're essential for your health, comfort, and quality of life. That's why we:

• Send you free samples of products so you can find your perfect fit.
• Ship your supplies quickly in discreet packaging directly to your home.
• Send you reminders when it's time to refill your products so you don't run out.

To get started, just fill out our secure Eligibility Form.

We don't share your information with anyone else, and after confirmation of benefits and supplies, we'll contact you as soon as we hear back from your healthcare provider.
