Other than pull up diapers and pads (which Medicare won't cover) there are many collection devices that Medicare will cover: The Afex system, condom catheters with bag, Mcguire urinals, etc. Go to Afex or Arcus Medical, for catheters or urinals go to A-Med.com or many other web sites.

I do not think Medicare will cover the cost of Depends or other garments following prostate surgery.
