Does Medicare cover ostomy supplies?

Yes. Part B helps pay for ostomy supplies when you need them.

What will you pay?

With Original Medicare: You pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after the yearly Part B deductible ($283 in 2026).

With a Medicare Advantage plan: Medicare Advantage plans must cover it too, but your costs and rules can differ. Check your plan. Compare plans near you.

What are the rules?

  • Your doctor must order them.
  • Use a supplier that takes Medicare. Ask if they accept the Medicare price.
