Medicaid covers medical expenses for qualifying individuals, including medical products and aids. Depending on the special need, diapers may qualify as necessary medical aids. Consult your state's health services office or case adviser for details about your unique situation.
I have a special needs six year old (foster daughter) that is not capable of being potty trained. I receive shipments from Medicaid monthly with diapers and wipes for her. If I needed them I could also get mattress protectors.

Where do you order them from if you could please tell me I have a special needs grandson and Medicaid already approved him to them add a comment
Medicaid covers many items for special needs children. The best way to find out if they cover diapers is to call the Medicaid office and ask or you could possibly find out at your neighborhood pharmacy.
Generally, no, Medicaid will not cover diapers for special needs children. They typically only cover diapers for those who cannot, for one reason or another, be toilet trained.
Medicaid rarely covers diapers unless someone can't be toilet trained. Other social services, churches, or charities might help. For a permanently and severely disabled child, Disability Social Security might help.
I am relatively certain that Medicaid does not cover the costs of diapers for anyone. However, if you have a severely special needs child, you should be able to receive Social Security on his or her behalf. That should help you cover the diapers.

For the most part medicaid does not cover diapers, you could contact your local health department and or churches as they may provide you with diapers for your child.
