If you or someone has a medically diagnosed reason for needing to wear adult diapers then yes Medicaid will cover the cost of the diapers for adults.

Most medicaid plains will cover the cost of incontinence supplies and bladder control products like pads, briefs and pull-ons.

The doctor will need to write a prescription for the diapers and then Medicaid will pay for the diapers if they are medically needed to control incontinence.

That's good because adult diapers can cost quite a bit per month or per year so having Medicaid help pay for them can help.

Just be aware that Medicaid won't pay for the best adult diapers out there.

My Grandma had Medicaid pay for her adult diapers and they only paid for very thin and not very absorbent adult diapers for her.

I couldn't let her suffer like that so I ordered her some good thicker brand of adult diapers online and it only cost me $200.00 per month for and I was very happy to pay for them for her to make her comfortable in her last years.

She was a very wonderful Grandma and I miss her a lot.

She helped take care of me when I was a baby and kid so I wanted to take care of her as well.
