Can I Receive Incontinence Supplies Through South Carolina Medicaid?
South Carolina Medicaid is a state-run insurance option for adults, children, senior citizens, and individuals with disabilities living in South Carolina. South Carolina currently provides incontinence products for both children and adult Medicaid recipients as one of the medically necessary items under its Medicaid coverage.
Under South Carolina Medicaid, individuals may qualify to receive a combination of pull-ups (pull-ons / protective underwear), briefs (adult diapers), disposable underpads, bladder control pads, wipes, and gloves. Unfortunately, Medicare will not cover incontinence products, but Medicare will cover catheters.
