Summary

Find out which adult briefs are covered by Medicaid, how to qualify, and the steps to receive your supplies efficiently.

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.
