How to Get Ostomy Supplies Delivered Monthly Through Arkansas Medicaid

For people living with an ostomy in Arkansas, running out of supplies is not an option — yet managing repeat orders while dealing with insurance paperwork can feel overwhelming. The good news: Arkansas Medicaid doesn’t just cover your ostomy products — it can also have them delivered to your door every month, at no extra cost.

This guide walks you through exactly how to set up monthly ostomy supply delivery through Arkansas Medicaid, step by step.

Understanding Arkansas Medicaid Coverage for Ostomy Supplies

Arkansas Medicaid provides comprehensive coverage for medically necessary ostomy supplies. Under the program, beneficiaries can access:

• Ostomy pouches (one-piece and two-piece systems)
• Skin barriers and wafers to protect the peristomal skin
• Adhesive removers and skin prep wipes
• Support belts and ostomy accessories

These items are classified as durable medical equipment (DME) when prescribed by your physician or ostomy care nurse. Because they’re covered under Medicaid’s DME benefit, you may be eligible for regular home delivery — eliminating the need to pick up supplies in person.

Who Qualifies for Medicaid-Covered Ostomy Supplies in Arkansas

To access covered ostomy supplies through Arkansas Medicaid, you must:

1. Be enrolled in Arkansas Medicaid (traditional Medicaid, Arkansas Works, or an Arkansas Medicaid-managed care plan)
2. Have a physician’s order documenting your ostomy and the medical necessity of supplies
3. Use a Medicaid-approved supplier like Finnegan Health Services

Income eligibility for Arkansas Medicaid is generally set at or below 138% of the Federal Poverty Level, though certain disability and family criteria may expand eligibility. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, the Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) has dedicated enrollment counselors who can help you determine your eligibility.

Tip: Even if you’ve been denied Medicaid in the past, changes in income, household size, or disability status can make you eligible today. It always pays to reapply or check with a Medicaid enrollment specialist.

Step-by-Step: How to Get Your Ostomy Supplies Delivered Monthly

Step 1: Get a Physician’s Order

Before Medicaid will cover your ostomy supplies, you’ll need a current order from your doctor, gastroenterologist, or ostomy care nurse. This order should specify:

• The type of ostomy you have (colostomy, ileostomy, urostomy)
• The estimated quantity of supplies needed per month
• Any specific product preferences or requirements

Your healthcare provider can often fax this order directly to a Medicaid-approved supplier on your behalf.

Step 2: Choose a Medicaid-Approved Ostomy Supply Supplier

Arkansas Medicaid requires you to use an approved supplier. Not all medical supply companies accept Medicaid, so it’s important to verify before you commit.

Finnegan Health Services is a Medicaid-approved supplier serving Arkansas residents. We handle all the paperwork, verify your coverage, and coordinate directly with Arkansas Medicaid to ensure you receive the supplies you need — delivered to your home each month.

Step 3: Confirm Your Coverage and Product Selection

Once your physician’s order is submitted, Finnegan Health will:

• Verify your Arkansas Medicaid coverage and eligibility
• Confirm the quantity and specific products your plan covers
• Help you select the right ostomy pouches, skin barriers, and accessories for your needs

We’ll walk you through every step and answer any questions you have about your coverage.

Step 4: Set Up Your Monthly Delivery Schedule

After your order is approved, you can establish a recurring monthly delivery. Most suppliers — including Finnegan Health — will ship your supplies on a schedule that ensures you never run short.

What to expect:

• You choose how often you need delivery (typically monthly)
• Supplies are shipped in advance so they arrive before you run out
• Your supplier contacts you before each shipment to confirm quantities
• Any product changes can be made with a simple phone call or form

Important: If your needs change (different pouch size, new skin sensitivity, etc.), contact your supplier as soon as possible. You don’t need to wait until your next scheduled delivery to make adjustments.
