Urostomy equipment question

Posted by cromme50 @cromme50, Sep 4 5:33pm

I use Hollister urostomy pouch 8414 and for overnight I use Bard Urinary Drainage Bag. My supplier Edgepark informs me that the
Urostomy drain tube adapter Hollister 7331 is not covered by Medicare, furthermore they no longer sell it in a box of 10 units, they sell it now individually at $8.65 for one single adapter, which I have to pay for in full.
I know that I can buy the box of 10 on Amazon at a better price than Edgepark but am interested in your experience with this. Does Medicare pay for yours, do you have a different combination of urostomy pouch and overnight bag that maybe does not require the adapter?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ostomy Support Group.

In reply to @foss "I used to use Holister products but now use Coloplast. I personally find them better and..." + (show)

@foss I agree. I feel they are much sturdier and easier to use than my original Hollister set up. They feel better on my skin and they give me a feeling of being more reliable.

Tne Convatec bags I get from Edgepark (401544) come 10 to a box, which includes 2 adapters. They're covered by Medicare. The Convatec bags are not compatible with Hollister barrier/wafers, so you'd have to switch to Convatec barriers,
