Finding Ostomy Supplies with Humana Gold Insurance

Finding the right ostomy supplies when you have Humana Gold insurance can be a bit of a journey, especially if you've recently transitioned from Medicare’s “Home Health Care” program. If you're in this situation and looking for reliable suppliers, here are some helpful suggestions from others who have been in your shoes:

1. Edgepark Medical Supplies
- This is a large, nationwide distributor known for carrying a comprehensive range of ostomy products. Many people have found that they accept various Humana Gold plans.
- They can quickly confirm your insurance coverage and guide you through any necessary paperwork.

2. 180 Medical
- This company was founded by an ostomate and operates out of Oklahoma City, shipping supplies nationwide.
- A user in Texas with Humana Gold reported fast delivery within 48 hours and noted that the company is willing to special-order products if they’re not in stock.

3. Local Pharmacy or Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Stores
- Some have had success obtaining supplies from local pharmacies that also sell home medical equipment, including diabetic and ostomy products. It might be worth checking out nearby options first.

4. Insurance and Prescription Tips
- Call the Humana Member Services number on the back of your insurance card to verify which suppliers are in-network.
- Your primary-care physician or the doctor who initially prescribed your ostomy supplies will likely need to submit product codes and authorization forms to both Humana and your chosen supplier.
- Once everything is approved, you might be eligible to receive a 90-day supply per shipment, which can help reduce the frequency of paperwork and deliveries.

These tips should help you navigate the process of finding a reliable source for your ostomy supplies with Humana Gold insurance.
