Often someone on a limited income or government assistance struggles with getting diapers for loved ones. The frustration of not being able to buy diapers or running out of pull-ups before the next monthly check puts a burden on a caregiver. Due to the fact this happens frequently and the cost of disposable diapers, briefs, and pull-ups are expensive and unaffordable to those on limited incomes, North Carolina Medicaid implemented a paid diaper service offering diapers to low-income recipients.

North Carolina Medicaid provides many services to low-income families. One particular service is a saving grace for those who cannot afford diapers, underpads, or pull-ups. In North Carolina, Medicaid recipients receive diapers, pull-ups, and under pads at no cost. This program is a life-saver for many low or no income people who need diapers, but are unable to afford to buy them. However, North Carolina Medicaid recipients must understand how the program works. 

Mediaid Covered Pediatric Diapers


Qualifications for the diaper program through North Carolina Medicaid includes a federal program called EPSDT which in correlation with North Carolina Medicaid provides a child under the age of twenty-one diapers and incontinence supplies if the child is disabled. Also, if your child has a Medicaid waiver, they usually have full Medicaid services and may also have additional services through the waiver. Sometimes the diapers are actually provided under a portion of the Medicaid waiver which is an easier route than going through EPSDT services. The number of diapers, pull-up’s, or other supplies depend on need. However, if there is a limit, don’t be afraid to ask for extra.
