Medicare covers catheters and related medical supplies that a doctor says are medically necessary. Coverage depends on the type of catheter and the medical reason for it. The type of facility may also determine what benefits are available. Benefits also include catheter supplies like irrigation kits, bedside drain bags, leg bags, irrigation syringes, and extension tubing.
Medicare Catheter Coverage
Some conditions that may need the use of a catheter include urinary incontinence, prostate or genital surgery, spinal cord injury, and urinary retention. Diseases like multiple sclerosis, dementia, and others can cause complications with urinating.
The health condition of a person determines if the use or need is either short or long term. Under certain circumstances, catheters may only be necessary for a short time. Like, during a medical procedure or while staying in the hospital. For some, the bladder function and/or muscles for controlling urination stop working properly. This may require long-term
catheter use.
