Absorbent Products for Incontinence

This edition of Guidelines for Medical Necessity Determination (Guidelines) identifies the clinical information that Colorado Access needs to determine medical necessity for absorbent products. These Guidelines are based on generally accepted standards of practice, review of the medical literature, and federal and state policies and laws applicable to CHP+ programs. These requirements are based on standards of the National Association for Continence (NAFC). Colorado Access regulations require Prior Authorizations (PA) for all absorbent products. Colorado Access reviews requests for PA on the basis of medical necessity.
