Are disposable diapers covered under Medicare?

Question

Are disposable adult diapers covered under Medicare?

Does medicare cover the cost of Adult Disposable Diapers when someone is incontinent?

Answer 1

Medicare does not cover Adult diapers or any other incontinence supplies you may need.

A health insurance plan should cover the cost of Adult disposable diapers and other incontinence supplies but medicare certainly won't cover any incontinence supplies including Adult disposable diapers.

Medicaid might cover the Adult diapers though so check with Medicaid if you have it and see if they cover Adult diapers.
