Most insurance policies including medicare cover at least part of the costs of a vacuum constriction device especially if a medical cause for ed has been documented. Medicare covers penile implants if erectile dysfunction is caused by an underlying medical condition such as diabetes coronary artery disease or peyronie s disease. Off label erectile dysfunction medications although medicare does not cover the cost of a vacuum constriction device or related sexual aides some men may be able to receive coverage for certain erectile dysfunction medications if they are prescribed for a condition other than erectile dysfunction.
