What You Need to Know About New Hydrophilic Catheter Billing Codes

We want to make sure our community stays informed about an important update that may affect your catheter supplies.

Coloplast, has shared that new insurance billing codes for hydrophilic intermittent catheters are being implemented. Because of this change, many suppliers now require an updated prescription in order to continue shipping catheter supplies without interruption.

What does this mean for you?

If you use hydrophilic intermittent catheters, your current prescription may need to be renewed or updated to align with the new billing requirements. Without an updated prescription, there could be delays or pauses in receiving your supplies.

What should you do next?

Coloplast has created a free, easy-to-follow guide that explains:

• What’s changing with the new billing codes

• Why an updated prescription may be required

• The steps you can take now to avoid disruptions

• How to talk with your doctor or supplier

We strongly encourage you to review this guide and take action as soon as possible to ensure uninterrupted access to the supplies you rely on.
