does medicare cover incontienence products
I wrote a sharepost about insurance, medicare, and medicaid coverage of incontinence products that you might find helpful: http://www.healthcentral.com/incontinence/c/45/25705/insurance
Basically, there are a lot of grey areas, so I'd recommend calling your account rep and asking him or her specifically.

For some reason Medicare will cover external catheters and leg bags, which I use, but will not cover the McGuire urinal which I also use. Why they cover some items and not others....go figure!

My mother is 95 and lives in an assisted living facility. SHe has suffered with incontinence for years but at this point does not even realize when she has gone to the bathroom and needs to constantly wear both depends and poise-- diapers and a seperate pad.
this is very expensive and I heard that Medicare will cover the cost of this and I need to find out how to go about getting this covered.
If they don't, she has United insurance. I need to find a way to help supplement the extemely high cost we are forced to incurr weekly.
Would appreciate your help.
