Effective Immediately: New Medicare reimbursement rules state for each episode of covered catheterization, now Medicare will cover one catheter and an individual packet of lubricant. This new Medicare ruling ends the need to reuse catheters ever again.
The washing and reuse of catheters may increase the risk of urinary tract infections for patients who were only qualified to get Medicare reimbursement for 4 catheters per month.
Now, each time a patient catheterizes, up to 6 times a day, they are free to use a new sterile catheter and then throw the used catheter away. No more reusing catheters. No more boiling, washing and drying used, worn out catheters. No more risking urinary tract infections.
You can call Home Care Together at 800.433.7622 and get all your catheters, now up to 200/month and Medicare will cover the cost. There will be no out of pocket cost to you! * We do all the paper work and remember we provide FREE SHIPPING!
