Are incontinence supplies (depends and pads) covered by heath insurance and Medicare?

If yes, how do I get them for my mother.  My mother has had recurring UTIs and been incontinent for 2 years now. Depends and pads are costly. She has gone through what savings she had and I'm worried about how we're going to cover the cost of copays for DR's, med etc.

Hospice does cover those supplies, but I hope your Mom never reaches that point.

My Mom's Senior Ctr gets donations, call her local area of aging and ask them..

Sorry, Medicare doesn't cover incontinence supplies or adult diapers. https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/incontinence-and-adult-diapers.html

If your Mom has very little savings left, it is time for your Mother to apply for Medicaid to help her with various items.

NOPE. Not covered by anybody unless she is poor enough for Medicaid.
