This topic is about finding alternative online suppliers for ostomy supplies that accept Medicaid, especially for someone experiencing delays with their current supplier, Edgepark. The person is based in Nevada and relies on Medicaid, so they need suppliers that can bill Medicaid directly. Here are some helpful suggestions and insights:

1. Reach out to multiple distributors directly by phone or email to ask if they are contracted with Nevada Medicaid. Suppliers often have better knowledge of insurance details than the insurers' call centers.

2. Consider these suppliers, which are reported to accept Medicaid, Medicare, or both:
- Better Health
- Byram Healthcare, known for allowing larger quantities and easy online ordering
- 180 Medical, which states it accepts most state Medicaid plans
- Liberator Medical Supply
- Comfort Medical
- Honest Medical, described as being better than Edgepark
- Duke Medical Supplies in Fenton, MO, which bills Medicare and Aetna; check their Medicaid status

3. Additional distributors to explore include Prism Medical Supply and 1-800-Medical, though Prism was mentioned but not specifically recommended.

4. To speed up approval and shipment, have your surgeon or stoma nurse send an updated prescription directly to the new supplier.

5. Be aware that insurance quantity limits can vary. Review your state’s Medicaid policy to challenge any incorrect limits a supplier might give you.

6. If Medicaid’s monthly or quarterly limits are insufficient, consider checking eBay for sealed supplies. Users have reported finding pouches for about $50 per box and drainable bags for less.

7. For those experiencing frequent leaks or liquid output, a product tip is to try Coloplast SenSura Mio high-output ileostomy bags, which a member reports can last 7–10 days without blow-outs.
