The state of Florida states that payment will only be made for treatment of a diagnosed medical condition, so diapers can only be prescribed for children who remain incontinent beyond the typical age of potty training. The state of Florida states that they begin covering diapers at age four.
The process for getting diapers typically requires several components:
Horizons Medical Supplies and Homecare will obtain the physician’s prescription and Medicaid approval.
The medicaid plan will cover briefs, pull-ups, underpads (chux), skin barriers and wipes.
Private insurance plans are not required to offer comprehensive benefits, and most do not cover diapers or other incontinence supplies. Nonetheless, it is worthwhile to try to use a vendor who will attempt to bill your private insurance, because you may be surprised to find the supplies approved. One parent had the experience of her private insurance sending out a denial letter stating the policy did not cover incontinence supplies; however, when the insurance company was billed for the supplies under standard medical supply codes, the items were covered and paid for.
Diapers are covered for every child with diagnosed incontinence who is past the potty training age, as long as the child has Medicaid. Private insurance plans vary and may or may not cover diapers. Hopefully this information can help families obtain diaper coverage and save a little bit of money each month!
