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.

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.
