The Indiana Health Coverage Programs contract with two durable medical equipment suppliers to provide incontinence, ostomy and urological supplies, including diapers, under- pads, ostomy bags and gloves to members enrolled in Traditional Medicaid.
All incontinence, ostomy and urological supplies for Traditional Medicaid members are to be obtained through mail order from one of the two contracted vendors.
These two IHCP enrolled vendors work directly with physicians in the IHCP network to process prescriptions for members who need supplies. In addition, members undergo a nursing assessment done by the vendor to determine the appropriate products, brands and quantities of incontinence products needed. All nursing assessments are performed by a licensed nurse.
Incontinence, ostomy and urological supplies for members enrolled in Hoosier Healthwise, the Healthy Indiana Plan or Hoosier Care Connect are managed through the member’s health plan and the health plan’s network of providers.
