How can I have adult diapers delivered to me?

I have Medicare.

You can ask your provider to try to bill these as DME (Durable Medical Equipment) under Medicare part B (pretty sure). In some states Medicaid may cover these but each state is different. Go on the websites, type in what you have a question about if it's covered (adult incontinence supplies) under DME on both Medicare (CMMS the federal site) & Google your state's Medicaid website and ask on those two sites.
Good luck.
Many times these are private pay.

Did you mean Medicaid and Medicare? Medicaid has a directory of vendors for these products.
If you have your Primary Care Doctor's order regarding the need for the product, Medicaid may be helpful along with the Doctors Medicaid license # sent to the DME provider to deliver based on the product guidelines or your diagnosis. Hope that helps.

As an aside, I believe that these products are private pay--- not covered by Medicare.

Dear TLP1962,

If you need supplies delivered, please try using Amazon or Wal-Mart. Order online and they will deliver to your residence. I'm not sure if a social worker could help you coordinate a delivery service for your supplies as well.
