My mom has anthem blue cross ppo ca covered. she needs a urinary catheter done once a week. what do i search to have this done, who can perform this?

See MD: I do not understand the need for a catheter once a week--if she needs a catheter to release urine, she would need to do this several times a day. See MD and clarify circumstances, Ask doctor's office about insurance questions.
