Online Suppliers That Accept Medicaid for Medical Supplies

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic revolves around finding reliable online suppliers that accept Medicaid for medical supplies, specifically for ostomy-related products. The original poster is currently using Edgepark but faces delays and is seeking alternative suppliers that accept Medicaid, as they cannot afford these supplies out of pocket.

Advice and Helpful Insights:
1. Exploring Other Suppliers:
- Better Health and Byram are recommended by multiple users for their reliability in supplying ostomy products.
- Liberator Medical Supply is noted to accept both Medicare and Medicaid.
- 180Medical is mentioned as accepting most state Medicaid plans and has satisfied customers.
- Honest Medical is suggested as a better alternative compared to Edgepark.
- Duke Medical Supplies in Fenton, MO, is praised for billing insurance, including Medicare and Aetna, and providing pleasant customer service.

2. Issues with Edgepark:
- Several users have experienced issues with Edgepark, including delays and poor customer service, leading them to switch to other suppliers like Byram.

3. Insurance and Prescription Tips:
- It's advised to have a prescription from a surgeon or doctor as it might help speed up the process with suppliers like Edgepark.
- Contacting different distribution companies directly to inquire about insurance acceptance is recommended, as they often have more accurate information than insurance companies themselves.

4. Additional Tips for Managing Supplies:
- Consider purchasing supplies from eBay as a supplementary source, especially if insurance limits the quantity you can receive. This can be a cost-effective way to build up a necessary stock of supplies.
- Be proactive in managing your supply needs and keep questioning customer service if discrepancies arise regarding order quantities or insurance coverage.

5. General Recommendations:
- It's beneficial to research and compare different suppliers to find one that best meets your needs in terms of product availability, insurance compatibility, and customer service.
- Always verify that the supplier accepts your specific state's Medicaid plan, as coverage can vary significantly between states.
