It’s not often that going to the doctor can actually help you save money. But if you’re one of the 25 million Americans that experiences incontinence, talking to your doctor may help you access the supplies you need — and could reduce your out-of-pocket costs.

Diagnosing incontinence could help you get incontinence supplies at little to no cost. Many don’t know it, but Medicaid and some private insurances cover them as a healthcare benefit. But in order for insurance to cover supplies, the supplies must be considered medically necessary to treat your condition. The only way to show that is for a doctor to diagnose you and then write a prescription for products.

Doctor diagnoses helps you get supplies.

Once the cause has been determined, you and your healthcare professional can establish a treatment plan that includes the medical supplies needed to treat incontinence.

Getting a diagnosis starts with calling your doctor and making an appointment. Speak with them honestly about your symptoms and the kind of output that you have. It may be a sensitive situation that’s hard to discuss, but you owe it to your health and happiness to take this step towards a healthy solution.
