Hi Stacy,
I only have Medicare and my supplier will cover a prescription from my Doctor. Of course it may cost if I need to see the Doctor to get the prescription. :-)

Medicaid varies from state to state. The federal gov. gives money to the states and then they distribute it how they see fit. I forgot the blue pads are covered. I rarely use them so I forgot. I pretty much just use them if I am going through catheter issues and that only happens from time to time.Stacy----- Original Message -----From: Julie A NapperSent: Saturday, May 21, 2005 3:30 PMSubject: Re: [QUAD-L] Another Medicare ?I'm on Medicaid (AZ) and they pay for my Enemeez and blue pads. I'm not
sure about the compression stockings because I don't use them. If I have
to start paying for all of that and meds, cath supplies, etc, I will be
in bad shape financially.
