What Is Required?

- The estimated number of incontinence products you require every day (i.e. 5 bladder control pads, 2 pull-ups, 3 underpads, etc.).
- Must be 3 years of age or older.
- Must be a Medicaid recipient in Wyoming. This means you and your child must be enrolled in your own Medicaid plans.
- A signed Certificate of Medical Necessity (CMN). This is documented proof from your healthcare professional within the last 6 months that your products are medically necessary. You may also be required to have a prescription for incontinence products from your healthcare provider. The required paperwork will be dependent on the requirements of your state.
