Does Minnesota Medicaid Cover Catheters?
Yes, Minnesota Medicaid does cover catheter supplies. Current guidelines state that eligible beneficiaries with Medicaid in Minnesota may be able to receive most types of catheters.

How Many Catheters Can I Receive Through Minnesota Medicaid?
To receive catheters covered by your Minnesota Medicaid plan, you will need a valid diagnosis and prescription. In addition, Minnesota Medicaid may require additional doctor’s notes to back up the diagnosis.
Depending on your diagnosis, prescription, and medical needs, Medicaid of Minnesota may allow up to 180 catheters per calendar month. This is approximately enough to catheterize 6 times per day, depending on your unique needs and prescription.
If your doctor has prescribed more than 180 catheters per month, you may be able to receive more. However, this will require a pre-authorization process.
