Private Insurance
Individually purchased, but often provided through employer-sponsored health benefits. Catheter reimbursement is individually determined and/or policy determined. It is important for you to know what your insurance covers. Ask your provider if they will cover your catheters at 100%, if there is an annual limit, if you have to co-pay ( they pay 80% you pay the rest, or if you have a spouse – coordinate co-pay) .
Prior approval is typically required and request for reimbursement may also need the following;
- Doctor prescription, either with the first claim or with each individual request ( ask your provider )
- Doctor support letter / fax stating the diagnosis and reason why you need to use a catheter and in some cases the approximate cost.
- Official receipt from pharmacy / Dealer to submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Or ask your pharmacy / dealer if they can bill your insurer directly.
