Frequently asked questions

Does Medicare cover PureWick at home?

In many cases, yes. Medicare Part B may cover the PureWick system as durable medical equipment (DME) for home use when prescribed by a physician and supplied through an approved DME provider like RA Fischer. Coverage depends on your specific plan and eligibility. Contact us to verify your plan at no obligation.

Is PureWick covered by Medicare Advantage or private insurance?

Many Medicare Advantage and private insurance plans cover PureWick when a physician order and supporting documentation are on file. Coverage criteria and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. Contact us and we will verify your specific plan before you commit to anything.

Are PureWick wick refills also covered?

Monthly wick refills may be covered under Medicare Advantage and private insurance plans. Importantly, you do not need to have originally purchased your PureWick system through RA Fischer to qualify for refill coverage. Contact us to check your plan's refill eligibility.

How many PureWick wicks are covered by Medicare each month?

Medicare covers 30 wicks every 30 days for eligible patients. This applies once your initial authorization is in place. Contact us to confirm your plan's specific refill coverage.

Your physician needs to complete our 3-page authorization form in full, including all fields marked with an asterisk, along with chart notes documenting urinary incontinence.
