Does Colorado Medicaid Cover Catheter Supplies?
Colorado Medicaid may cover medically necessary intermittent catheter supplies. Depending on your prescription and coverage requirements, this may include straight, coudé, hydrophilic, pre-lubricated, or closed system catheters.
You’ll need a valid prescription from a qualified healthcare provider. Certain catheter types, including catheters with insertion supplies, may also require prior authorization or additional medical documentation.
Do I Need a Prescription to Get Catheters Through CO Medicaid?
Yes. Health First Colorado requires a valid prescription or written order for catheter supplies.
Your prescribing healthcare provider may also need to participate in Colorado Medicaid. Our insurance specialists can verify your benefits and help determine whether additional documentation or authorization is required for your order.
How Many Catheters Will Colorado Medicaid Cover?
The number of catheters covered each month may depend on your prescription, catheterization schedule, medical needs, catheter type, and specific Health First Colorado plan.
If you use uncoated straight or coudé catheters, your plan may also cover individual lubricant packets based on the prescribed quantity and applicable coverage guidelines.
Contact our insurance specialists to verify your benefits and learn about any quantity limits or authorization requirements that may apply.
