Urgent Medicare Update for Catheter Users.
Now Medicare, the Veterans Administration and the FDA all agree.
Catheters should NOT be re-sterilized and reused.
Doctor Michael J. Kussman, MS, MACP of The Veterans Health Administration has stated that “Catheters identified as single-use devices should NOT be re-used in any setting.”
And now Medicare agrees. 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.
For years, the washing and reuse of catheters has increased the risk of urinary tract infections for patients who were only qualified to get Medicare reimbursed for 4 catheters per month.
Now, each time a patient catheterizes, up to 6 times a day, they’re 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.
Call the Liberator Medical Catheter Supply-Care Hotline at 1-800-755-7880 and get all the
catheters, now up to 200 per month. And all the insurance coverage, Medicare and private
insurance, that you deserve…for little or no out of pocket cost to you.*
