Insurance-Covered Diapers & Pull-Ups for Special Needs Kids
If your child is still in diapers or pull-ups past the toddler years, you know how fast the cost adds up, month after month. We've been there with our son Theo. What many families don't know: Medicaid and many private insurance plans cover incontinence supplies for kids with a qualifying medical condition. This guide shows you how to find out whether your child qualifies.

Who may qualify
- Children (under 18) and adults with a diagnosed medical condition related to incontinence, such as autism, epilepsy or another developmental or neurological condition
- Families on Medicaid. Medicaid requires a diagnosed medical condition related to your child's incontinence.
- Families with private insurance. Coverage depends on your plan.
- Coverage, quantity limits and prior authorization vary by plan and by state.
How it works
- Fill out a short eligibility form (about 5 minutes). Have your insurance card ready.
- A continence care specialist works with your child's doctor to get the prescription.
- You get free samples so you can find the right fit.
- Supplies ship to your home every month, with text or email reminders to reorder.

Questions parents ask
Is it really free? If your child qualifies, many plans cover supplies at $0. Some plans have copays or limits. You'll know before anything ships.
My child is 4 (or 14). Is that too young or too old? Rules vary by state and plan. The eligibility form is the fastest way to find out.
