Living with an ostomy can present a variety of challenges — from maintaining skin health around the stoma to ensuring reliable, odor-free containment. For many Arkansans relying on Medicaid, navigating the costs and coverage for such essential supplies can feel overwhelming. Thankfully, Finnegan Health Services is on a mission to make ostomy care simpler, more affordable, and more dignified for people across the state.
Understanding What Arkansas Medicaid Covers
One of the most critical barriers for ostomy patients is understanding what their insurance will actually pay for. Arkansas Medicaid provides comprehensive coverage for essential ostomy supplies.
This includes:
- Ostomy pouches — the core appliance for waste collection.
- Skin barriers / wafers — these protect the skin around the stoma and help prevent irritation.
- Adhesive removers — important for gently removing pouches and wafers without damaging sensitive skin.
- Support belts and accessories — such as straps, filters, and covers to improve comfort and security.
- Deodorants – To neutralize odor and keep things fresh
- Paste – Fills gaps and creases for better seal, reducing leaks
Finnegan Health works closely with patients to help determine which specific products are covered under their Medicaid plan and what may require a prescription or prior authorization.
