    Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover adult incontinence diapers and bed liners used at home because they are thrown away after each use, and not considered Durable Medical Equipment (DME). If hospitalized or in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will pay for incontinence diapers under Part A. Medicare will cover catheters.

    As Peggy indicated, Medicare Part B does not cover incontinence diapers. This means there are no discounts, even if you purchase from a Medicare approved DME provider that accepts assignment.

    Many retailers such as Target and Walmart will carrier adult diapers and have good pricing. You should also consider warehouse clubs such as Costco and Sams as well as online retailers including Amazon.
