Medicare Incontinence Supplies

What is Medicare?

Medicare is a federally funded insurance program for eligible participants age 65 years old or older. There are two parts to Medicare - Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance). To get more information on Medicare, visit the Social Security Medicare Benefits page. Please note that Medicare does not cover 100% of all medical expenses or the cost of most long term care.

Does Medicare Pay For Incontinence Supplies?

Please note that Medicare does not cover 100% of all medical expenses or the cost of most long term care. This includes durable medical equipment and incontinence products such as adult diapers, sanitary napkins, and disposable bed pads. 

What are Disposable Underpads?

Disposable underpads are protective bed pads that often come with adhesives to help secure it in place. They are made for absorbing urinary leaks or catching fecal incontinence spills. They are designed to protect mattresses and furniture from moderate to heavy incontinence. Often, disposable bed pads are made with non-woven materials that soak up liquids effectively to maintain dryness and reduce odors for maximum comfort. Disposable bed pads with adhesives are helpful medical supplies that are commonly used for urinary incontinence treatment.

Where to Buy Bed Pads for Elderly?

Since Medicare will not pay for incontinence supplies, you will have to purchase disposable bed pads out-of-pocket. Your local supermarket or drugstore will sell incontinence products such as adult diapers and panty liners but may not have bed pads in stock. If you are looking to order online, San Pablo Commercial delivers disposable bed pads for the elderly straight to your door in 2-3 business days.
