Medicare and supplemental insurance did pay for dad's catheters. But you have to speak to the prescribing doctor/urologist to get set up with supplies and coaching on how the catheters are to be used, You don't just go to CVS and buy them and figure it all out yourself.....they are medical supplies. Please get advice from the doctor on how to proceed.
