Is there any way to get a prescription for adult diapers ?

I'm incontinent and have to wear diapers otherwise I'll wet my pants before I get to the bathroom. I wear thick diapers to cope with my incontinence but they're costly and would like to get a prescription and have them paid for by medical card or insurance?

Is there a way to get a doctor to prescribe adult disposable diapers and have my health insurance pay for the adult disposable diapers?

If you can prove your incontinent enough then it's possible to get a doctor to prescribe diapers and have health insurance pay for the diapers.

But the health insurance and prescribed diapers will likely be the cheaper and thinner diapers. They most likely won't pay for better disposable adult diapers for you.

The doctor will run some tests on you and might be able to get your health insurance help cover the cost of your adult disposable diapers for your incontinence.

It can be tough though and you'll probably have to fill out some paperwork.
