PureWick™

Yes. Medicare now covers The PureWick™ External Catheter for eligible female patients. Coverage applies to both Medicare Part B (for durable medical equipment) and, in some cases, Medicare Advantage plans. According to Medicare.gov, urological supplies are covered when they are medically necessary and properly prescribed.

To qualify, patients must meet specific medical criteria and provide proper documentation from their doctor. Medicare will not process the claim without it, which is why partnering with a knowledgeable, licensed supplier like TMS is so important.

Before Medicare approves coverage, your doctor must provide:

• A valid prescription for The PureWick™ System
• Medical records confirming a urinary incontinence diagnosis
• A letter of medical necessity from your healthcare provider. Without these records, Medicare will deny the claim. Our TMS team can help you and your doctor gather what's needed quickly and correctly. 

One of the hardest parts of managing urinary incontinence is the constant disruption to sleep — for both the patient and the caregiver. Patients may wake up repeatedly to use the restroom or need help changing pads, briefs, or full bedsheets throughout the night.

The PureWick™ External Catheter breaks that cycle. It's a non-invasive, external device that gently suctions urine away while the patient sleeps — no internal catheter, no surgery, no discomfort.

• Fewer nighttime bathroom trips and fall risks
• Reduced risk of nighttime UTIs
• Less reliance on pads, diapers, and bedsheet changes
• More dignity and independence for the patient
• Less physical strain on caregivers

For thousands of women and their families, The PureWick™ is not just a medical device — it's a meaningful improvement in daily life.
