Does Ohio Medicaid or Medicare pay for adult diapers?

Does anyone know if Ohio Medicaid or Medicare pay for Adult Diapers? We lived in other states, where if you have a valid RX from the doctor with a valid reason code that medicaid will pay; but were living in Ohio now and also trying to find an adult diaper provider and it's like finding a needle in a haystack???

Another approach might be to search for Incontinence Supplies Medicaid and call a provider and ask how to go about ordering from them.

Doesn't someone come out about every six months or so and evaluate needs and come up with a budget of benefits? States do things differently, I guess. But try calling the county office that administers Medicaid.

Yes, what do you mean by a medicaid case worker - who is that? or where can we get one?

Call your Medicaid case worker and ask for the supplier of incontinence products they use. Typically they can be delivered on a schedule (such as monthly) or when you call for more. Is your loved on on Medicaid in Ohio? You've reapplied since the move?
