Individual Providers serving Medicaid and state-only-funded clients have access to gloves as part of each client’s health benefit. Gloves must be available for use by Individual Providers (IPs) when providing hands-on personal care services to clients. Wearing protective gloves and washing hands frequently will greatly decrease the risk of spreading infection.

Each client is eligible to receive a supply of 200 gloves per month. Additional gloves can be requested if medically necessary. Clients can access glove supplies in the following ways:

Apple Health (Medicaid) Managed Care Program Clients

2. Call your primary care physician.
3. Call the number located on the back of his/her Medical Services Card.

State-Only Funded Clients

1. Check with their health insurance to see if gloves are offered as a benefit.
