Kentucky Medicaid and Incontinence Supplies – Are They Covered?
This post was reviewed by our Director of Clinical Excellence and Oversight.
Affording incontinence supplies can be a huge challenge for people with lower incomes, but if you’re a Kentucky Medicaid recipient, there may be a solution: Your Medicaid benefits might cover the cost of your incontinence products.
Does Kentucky Medicaid Cover Incontinence Supplies?
Kentucky Medicaid currently provides coverage of incontinence supplies as one of its benefits. This means that Bladder control pads, adult briefs, pull-ons, and booster pads could be received at little to not cost, so long as Kentucky’s requirements for coverage are met.
Coverage Requirements for Kentucky Medicaid
Like many Medicaid programs, Kentucky will only cover incontinence products if they are medically necessary to treat incontinence. A doctor or physician must confirm that there is a medical need for the products and write a prescription for them. It may also be necessary for Kentucky Medicaid to pre-approve the supplies before they can be received.

How to Get Supplies
The most important step to getting incontinence supplies using Medicaid benefits is getting a diagnosis from a doctor. Only a diagnosis from a doctor counts as proof that your supplies are medically necessary. Once you have received an official diagnosis from a doctor, you may be eligible to get supplies and have Medicaid cover the cost.
