Do veteran health benefits pay for incontinence treatment?

Urinary incontinence impacts veterans of all age groups. In fact, it is more common than many veterans realize. Despite increased attention and research on incontinence veterans are often reluctant to seek help.  More awareness about available options may change that. Below we answer if veteran health benefits help during treatment.

Talk with your healthcare provider

Incontinence treatment options such as Men’s Liberty external catheter are covered by Tricare and most other insurance providers, including Medicaid and Medicare. To qualify for coverage, your healthcare provider will need to document medical necessity.  You can enjoy worry-free protection day and night for little or no out of pocket costs. No prescription is required.

Why is incontinence so common among vets?

Urinary incontinence is common among vets across age groups. Moreover, it is higher among veterans younger than 55 than in non-veterans younger than 55. There are a number of contributing factors.  Physical injuries such as traumatic brain injury, combat trauma or spinal cord injury are common causes of bladder incontinence. Other factors, such as PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder, weight, and prostate health may also play a role. No matter the cause of your incontinence, Men’s Liberty can help you get back to the business of living without worrying about embarrassing accidents.

Why incontinence treatment?
