How do I get started using Better Health?
If you’re new to Better Health, we’ll ask you to complete a brief 3-stage process.
This will help us get to you and your needs and will help us serve you better.
Don’t worry, you’ll only have to do this once.
- Demographics: The first phase is demographics, where we get to know you a little better.
We’ll ask you for information such as your full name, date of birth, state of residence, address, as well as medical release information should you want someone else to be able to correspond with us on your behalf.
- Insurance: The second stage is gathering your insurance information.
We’ll need information about your doctor, as well as your primary insurance provider (and any secondary insurance, should you have any).
- Product needs: Lastly, we’ll ask you to select the product categories you’re interested in, such as catheters, ostomy, or diabetes.
If you already know which specific brand or product you want, we’ll set you up with it.
If you’re still looking for the right product for you, we’ll make recommendations and help you order samples to try out at home.
Where do you ship to?
Currently, we ship to residential addresses or PO boxes in most U.S. states except Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee (coming soon!)
Do you require a prescription to buy catheters?
Yes. But if you don’t have a prescription, don’t worry! We’ll personally work with your doctor to get the proper documentation on file so we can get you the supplies you need.
If you don’t already have a prescription, please be sure to give us your doctor’s name and contact information.
I’m not sure which catheter is best for me. Can you help?
Yes, of course! Our
product fit quiz can help you find the best products for your lifestyle.
If you’d rather talk to someone, we also offer private consultations with our catheter experts who will work with you to find the best fit.
Can’t choose just one? We can send you free samples so you can try and compare different products at home.
Where can I buy catheters near me?
By ordering through Better Health, you’ll get your products shipped directly to your door — for free!
If you’d still like to find your nearest store, use our store finder to find medical supplies near you.

How will I receive my supplies? How long after I order will I get my supplies?
We’ll deliver your supplies to the address provided in a discreet package.
We work with several warehouses across the U.S. to ensure the fastest delivery possible.
On average, you can expect to receive your supplies in 1-3 business days (not including Sundays, or public holidays) after you place your order.
In the rare instance that any complications arise that might delay your order, we’ll provide you with regular updates.
How does reordering work?
We know you have better things to do than worry about your medical supplies.
That’s why we offer a “set it and forget it” subscription model.
Once you place an order, we’ll ship your products to you every month (don’t worry, we’ll always check in with you before we ship in case you’d like to edit your order).
If you’d like to receive your supplies more or less frequently, we’ll happily customize your delivery schedule.
You can always modify your shipments at any time.
How much does delivery cost?
We always offer free home delivery.
We ship your supplies via priority shipping, which means you should receive your shipment within 1-3 business days.
Can I change the number of supplies I receive every month?
You can customize your shipment as many times as you want A few things to note:
- It is possible to order fewer products than your prescription states.
Eg. if you have a prescription for 100 products per month, you can change your order to receive only 50 products per month.
If you need more products than your prescription states (i.e. you have a prescription for 20 products but you want 40), you’ll need to get a new prescription from your doctor.
We’re happy to speak to your doctor and help you get a new prescription — just give us a call!
- Should your order exceed your insurance coverage, you’ll be required to pay the remainder out of pocket.
We’ll confirm pricing with you should this come up.
How much will my supplies cost?

Please get in touch with us so we can learn more about your specific insurance plan and give you a personalized cost estimate.
What types of supplies are covered by insurance?
This will vary depending on the type of insurance you have.

Are intermittent catheters covered by Medicare?
Yes! Intermittent catheters are covered by Medicare when proven medically necessary and when the appropriate documentation is in order (such as a prescription and applicable medical records).
Medicare typically covers 80% of the cost of catheters once you have met your deductible.
