Coverage explained

Medicare catheter and ostomy coverage, explained

Catheters and ostomy supplies are covered as prosthetic devices under Medicare Part B and by nearly all commercial and Medicaid plans. Quantity limits are generous, most patients are entitled to far more than they've been receiving.

  1. 1

    Prescription and diagnosis

    We collect a prescription documenting your condition, urinary retention, neurogenic bladder, or your ostomy type and surgery date.

  2. 2

    Quantity you're actually entitled to

    Medicare allows up to 200 intermittent catheters per month as a ceiling, not a default, the exact quantity is individualized and set by your doctor's order and plan documentation, generally one per catheterization, plus lubricant. Ostomy allowances cover barriers and pouches at clinically appropriate change frequencies. We bill the full quantity your documentation supports.

  3. 3

    Product trials for fit and skin

    Sterile closed systems, hydrophilic coatings, barrier shapes, small differences change everything. We send samples so you can find what works before committing a full month.

  4. 4

    Monthly refills you confirm

    We track when you may be eligible for a refill and contact you before each cycle. Nothing ships until you or your representative confirms that it is needed. Each check-in is also a chance to flag skin issues and leaks.
