Summary

Getting the incontinence supplies you need can be difficult for people with lower incomes. However, if you’re a Medicaid recipient, you may be able to get adult briefs covered by your Medicaid plan. Most states (including Washington, DC), cover adult diapers and briefs. If you’re eligible for this coverage, getting the supplies you need is only a few steps away.

Your ability to get adult briefs covered by a Medicaid plan depends on the type of Medicaid plan you have, and which state you live in. To see if you’re eligible, see if your state’s Medicaid plan covers incontinence supplies.

Medicaid plans only cover adult briefs if they are determined to be medically necessary by a doctor. That means a doctor must confirm that the products are needed to manage a medical condition. If you haven’t been seen by a doctor and received a diagnosis relevant to incontinence, talk to your doctor about incontinence as soon as you can.

Once you’ve seen your doctor about incontinence, give us a call or enroll online. At Home Care Delivered, we make it easy to get Medicaid-covered adult briefs delivered to your door. We can explain your coverage options, help select the right adult briefs for you, and provide ongoing care and support from our team of experts. Plus, we work with your doctor and insurance to handle all the paperwork, so you don’t have to. We’ll also follow up with you every month to make sure your products are meeting your needs. Since 1996, Home Care Delivered has supported thousands of customers with reliable service, trusted products, and compassionate guidance — every step of the way.

Summary

Chances are that if you have Medicaid, you’ve probably heard the term “Managed Care.” If you’re not sure what it means, then it’s time to find out. It’s a pretty important part of your health coverage.

Managed Medicaid simply refers to how Medicaid benefits are provided to people. Here’s a list of everything you need to know about Managed Care plans.

Managed Care, sometimes called Managed Medicaid, means that a state has contracted with a private insurance company to provide Medicaid benefits on behalf of the state. The state pays the insurance company a set amount each month, and in return, the company provides their Medicaid members with healthcare services.

Managed Care plans cover all of the Medicaid benefits required by the federal government. Some Managed Care plans may also provide extra benefits. Since Managed Care plans are different for each state, benefits may vary. There may also be differences in the health provider networks available.

You may be eligible to receive certain medical supplies through your Managed Care plan. Coverage depends on your state and specific plan benefits. Here are some of the products you may be eligible to receive:

• Incontinence – Bladder control pads, adult briefs, and more.
• Diabetes – Blood glucose monitors, test strips, and more.
• Wound Care – Gauze, tape, dressings, foam, and more.
• Ostomy – Skin barriers, pouches, wafers, and more.
• Urology – Catheters, lubricant, drainage bags, and more.
• Breast Pumps – Manual and automatic models.

No, not every state offers Managed Care plans. Some states also use Fee-For Service, which means that the state itself provides healthcare benefits and pays for each individual members’ services directly. To learn more, see What Is Fee-For-Service Medicaid.

To find out if you have a Managed Care Plan or Fee-For-Service, call the number on the back of your insurance card or refer to your plan’s benefit handbook.

To get supplies with your insurance, call us today or enroll online for incontinence supplies. Our team of experts will explain which supplies your Medicaid plan covers. We can also set you up with monthly product deliveries if needed and bill your Medicaid plan for the cost. The process is simple:

• Provide us with some basic information
• We do all the insurance paperwork for you
• Once complete, we’ll ship you monthly product orders and bill your Managed Care plan

Getting started is quick and easy. Our team will guide you through the process and work with your health plan to help minimize your out-of-pocket costs.

Summary

If you have Medicaid, you may have heard the term “Fee-For-Service.” Ever wonder what that means, and how it affects your health coverage?

Fee-For-Service simply refers to how healthcare professionals receive payment from Medicaid. Here’s a breakdown of how it works and how to use it for medical supplies.

Fee-For-Service means that Medicaid pays doctors and healthcare professionals directly for each service they provide. Here’s a simple example:

1. A Medicaid member visits the doctor for a check-up
2. The doctor charges Medicaid a fee according to the state’s fee schedule
3. Medicaid pays the doctor the fee for that check-up.

Although Fee-for-Service Medicaid pays providers directly, some Medicaid recipients may still have to pay small premiums or copays.

You can receive any medical services that your Medicaid plan covers, so long as the service is medically necessary and prescribed by your doctor.

Absolutely. You can get any medically necessary supplies covered by your Medicaid plan. Here are some of the products you may be eligible to receive:

• Incontinence – Bladder control pads, adult briefs, and more.
• Diabetes – Blood glucose monitors, test strips, and more.
• Wound Care – Gauze, tape, dressings, foam, and more.
• Ostomy – Skin barriers, pouches, wafers, and more.
• Urology – Catheters, lubricant, drainage bags, and more.
• Breast Pumps – Manual and automatic models.

No, not every state offers Fee-For-Service Medicaid. Some states also have Managed Care Plans, or a combination of Fee-For-Service and Managed Care plans. Managed Care means that the state contracts with private insurance companies to provide Medicaid health plans.

To find out if you have a Managed Care Plan or Fee-For-Service, call the number on the back of your insurance card or refer to your plan’s benefit handbook.

To get supplies with your insurance, call us today or enroll online for incontinence supplies. Our team of experts will explain which supplies your Medicaid plan covers. We can also set you up with monthly product deliveries if needed and bill your Medicaid plan for the cost. The process is simple:

• Provide us with some basic information
• We do all the insurance paperwork for you
• Once complete, we’ll ship you monthly product orders covered by your Medicaid plan.

It only takes 10 minutes to get started and could save you hundreds on medical supplies each month.

Summary

There’s no arguing that healthcare is a challenging cost for senior citizens. Research suggests that the average senior citizen will need $172,000 to cover health expenses after age 65. But if you have Medicaid, that cost could be greatly reduced.

Not everyone knows it, but Medicaid covers many health services that senior citizens need. Seniors with Medicaid can use their benefits to receive these services at little to no cost. Below are some of the benefits most applicable to seniors:

Many state Medicaid plans cover the cost of incontinence supplies like adult briefs, bladder control pads, and pull-on underwear. Qualifying Medicaid members can receive monthly deliveries of these products right to their door at little to no cost.

This benefit is very helpful for individuals with tight budgets. Incontinence supplies can cost between $900-$2,400 per year, with some estimates reaching $5,000 per year. Medicaid could reduce this cost, and with a supplier like Home Care Delivered, these products can be delivered discreetly to your door each month when needed. No more embarrassing trips to the store to buy supplies!

Medicaid also covers diabetic testing supplies such as blood glucose monitors, testing strips, lancets, and test formula. Like incontinence products, diabetic supplies can be delivered at little to no cost for qualifying Medicaid members. This is a huge benefit for people with diabetes. The average cost of diabetes treatment alone averages $9,600 per year. Qualifying Medicaid plans can reduce this expense by covering the cost of testing supplies.

Medicaid could also cover the cost of Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). PACE programs offer a huge range of healthcare services to seniors, including dental, home care, meals, prescriptions, hospital care, and more.

PACE programs have a monthly premium. If you have Medicaid, then that premium could be covered by your benefits. This is great news, because it means qualifying members can receive a wide variety of health services at little to no cost.

Many Medicaid plans cover mobility aids. Depending on the Medicaid plan, qualifying members could receive their mobility aids at a reduced price or at no cost at all.
This is great news, as mobile aids can range in cost from hundreds to thousands of dollars. With Medicaid covering part or all of the cost, seniors can get the equipment they need to enjoy life and remain independent.

Medicaid also covers treatments for arthritis. This could include things like anti-inflammatory drugs, pain relief medication, and joint surgery. Qualifying Medicaid members could receive these treatments at little to no cost to them.

This benefit is perfect for individuals who need regular treatment for arthritis. Medication can be very expensive, reaching as high as $30,000 annually. Surgery can cost even more. Medicaid can reduce the cost and allow seniors to receive the treatment they need.

There are many other health services that Medicaid could cover, including Medicaid benefits for people with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Here are a few more:

• Catheters & urological supplies
• Lab work & X-rays
• Bandages & wound care products
• Home Health
• Personal Care Assistant
• Nursing Facility

To find out if any of these benefits are an option, call the number on the back of the Alzheimer patient’s Medicaid card.
