Insurance coverage for iontophoresis and BD® PureWick®

RA Fischer works with most major US insurance plans, Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare. We check your coverage before anything is ordered or billed, handle the paperwork with your doctor, and submit prior authorization on your behalf. Many patients pay nothing out of pocket.

Coverage rules differ between the two, so the check is quicker when it starts in the right place. Both take about a minute.

Urinary incontinence

  • Authorization form sent straight to the doctor’s office
  • Reauthorization managed when the plan requires it

How it works

The same four steps either way.

Whichever product you need, we do the insurance work. You will not be asked to chase your insurer or coordinate paperwork between offices.

1
We verify your benefits
A Treatment Specialist contacts your insurer and confirms what your plan covers, before anything is ordered or billed. There is no obligation and no cost for the check.
2
The doctor completes the paperwork
We send the forms to the doctor’s office directly, or email them to you to pass along, whichever you prefer. We follow up until they are complete, because this is usually the longest step.
3
We submit prior authorization
Where your plan requires it, we submit the request and work with the insurer and the doctor’s office on anything else they ask for.
4
Approval and delivery
Once approved, your order ships to your door. For BD® PureWick® patients we also set up the monthly refill schedule so supplies do not run out.
Plans we work with

Most major plans, plus Medicare and Tricare.

These are the plans we see most often. If yours is not listed it does not mean you are not covered, it means we need to check.

Medicare Part B Medicare Advantage Medicaid Tricare Aetna Cigna United Healthcare Horizon BCBS Select Health

Coverage depends on your specific plan, your deductible, and your doctor’s documentation of medical necessity. Approval is never guaranteed, which is exactly why we check first and tell you what we find before anything is ordered.

Before you start

Helpful to have on hand.

Do not worry if you are missing something. We can sort out the rest together.

  • The insurance or Medicare cardFront and back, including the member ID
  • The doctor’s name and office phone numberSo we can send the paperwork to the right place
  • A prescription, if you already have oneIt can be faxed to (818) 775-2941
  • The patient’s date of birthInsurers ask for it to verify eligibility

Forms and paperwork

If your doctor’s office prefers to send paperwork directly, these are the forms they need.

Coverage questions

Questions we hear most.

More answers on the FAQ page.

No. The check is free and there is no obligation. A Treatment Specialist contacts your insurer, confirms what your plan covers, and tells you what we find. Nothing is ordered or billed until you decide to go ahead.
A prescription is required before an order ships, but not before we check coverage. If you already have one, it can be faxed to (818) 775-2941. If you do not, we will talk through the next steps when we call.
It depends on the plan and how quickly the doctor’s paperwork comes back, which is usually the longest step. Complete documentation is the single biggest factor, which is why we check everything before it goes in and follow up until it is complete.
A denial is not always the end of it. We can help with an appeal and provide a reimbursement guide so you can submit a claim yourself. You can also order out of pocket and seek reimbursement afterwards. A Treatment Specialist will explain the options for your plan.
Yes, for plans we are contracted with. Our insurance team handles claim submission, so there is no work for you or your doctor’s billing staff. Where we cannot bill directly, we will tell you upfront and explain the reimbursement route.

Rather just talk it through?

Our Treatment Specialists check coverage every day and can tell you what to expect for your plan. No obligation, and nothing is ordered or billed from a phone call.
