Summary

Explore how veterans can access incontinence supplies —understanding benefits, eligibility, and coverage options so they can reduce costs and receive the medically necessary supplies to help them manage their condition.

There are many medical services available to help veterans, but unfortunately, they often do not cover incontinence supplies.

Incontinence supplies are often not covered as a medical need, even though they are crucial to the health and happiness of many veterans. Getting these supplies can be a challenge, especially considering the cost. The price of incontinence supplies can range from $900-$4,000 per year.

Luckily, there are some options available that can help reduce these costs.

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is a government program that could help veterans get incontinence supplies. The program provides a wide range of healthcare services, including some medical supplies

To be eligible to get incontinence supplies through the VHA, veterans first need to become a member of the program and then visit a doctor to confirm a medical need. Every situation will be different, and there may be additional requirements that need to be met in order for the VHA program to cover the supplies.

This means that veterans with Medicaid could get their supplies at little or no cost, depending on the details of their plan.
