Urostomy FAQs About Products, Ordering, and Insurance
What products do I need if I have a urostomy?
Your urostomy supply needs depend on your healthcare provider’s guidance and prescription, as well as what will be covered by your insurance.
However, common urostomy supplies typically include a one-piece urostomy bag and a skin barrier or a two-piece urostomy pouching system with a skin barrier already attached. There are different types of ostomy skin barriers for different body types and needs, including flat and convex options, depending on your stoma and skin.
Many people also utilize a night drainage system and accessories such as barrier seals, stoma paste, and adhesive removers.
Does insurance cover urostomy supplies?
Many insurance plans, including Medicare, will often cover urostomy supplies when they are medically necessary and prescribed by a qualified healthcare provider.
Coverage and allowable amounts vary by plan. 180 Medical can verify your insurance and help determine what will be covered under your plan.
Do I need a prescription to get urostomy bags?
Yes, insurance plans require a prescription and, in some cases, may also require supporting documentation or progress notes from a qualified prescribing healthcare provider before covering ostomy supplies, including urostomy bags.
180 Medical can help contact your provider for any needed documentation. Just reach out to us to get started.
