Does Texas Medicaid have to be my primary insurance provider?
Incontinence products can be provided to any beneficiary who has Texas Medicaid as their primary or secondary provider. This means that even if you or your loved one has Medicaid as a secondary insurance, you may still use it to cover what your primary plan doesn’t.
How many supplies does Texas Medicaid cover per month?

What is the income limit for pregnancy Medicaid in Texas?
The income limit for pregnant women on Medicaid in Texas changes yearly. Learn more about Medicaid income limits on the Texas Health and Human Services website.
I have Texas Medicaid, so why don’t I qualify for supplies?
You should receive an email explaining why you or your child were not approved for incontinence supplies. Common reasons include: Aeroflow Urology isn’t in-network, the items aren’t insurance-covered, you don’t meet age or eligibility rules, or the diagnosis may not be a qualifying condition under your insurance plan.
I submitted my information. When will I know if I’m approved?
One of our dedicated Continence Care Specialists will contact you via phone or email within 1-2 business days of submitting your information. If it has been longer than this time frame, please give us a call at 1-844-276-5588, and we’ll happily provide an update. Our office is open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm ET.
What about a prescription? Can Aeroflow help?
Texas Medicaid requires a prescription in order to cover incontinence supplies like diapers or wipes. If you do not have a prescription for you or your child, your Continence Care Specialist will reach out to your doctor directly for the paperwork.
I have Medicare. Why don’t I qualify for incontinence supplies?
Unfortunately, Medicare does not currently consider incontinence products as “medically necessary,” so they do not cover supplies. However, Medicare may cover your monthly supply of catheters.
