Will Medicare pay for a walk-in tub or shower conversion?

You are in Brandon, you want a safer way to bathe, and you hope Medicare will help. Then you ask around and hear yes from one person and no from the next. That is frustrating when you just want a plain answer. Here is what decides it, and the few steps that get you a real answer this week.

Ask three people about Medicare and a walk-in tub and you may get three answers. That is common. Coverage depends on your own plan, and plans are written differently. A walk-in tub and a tub turned into a shower are also different projects, so a plan may treat them differently. Nobody outside your plan can promise what it will do. The only answer that counts is the one your plan gives you.

The price of a walk-in tub depends on what you choose. The tub size matters, and so do the accessibility and wellness features, like grab bars, a built-in seat, water jets, heated air or a quick drain. The quote covers the product and the installation. No two bathrooms are the same, so the number is set in your home, not over the phone. We also offer financing.

This week, call the number on your plan card. Ask if it covers a walk-in tub. Ask if it covers turning a tub into a shower. Ask what paperwork it needs before anything is bought. Write down the date and the name of the person you spoke with. Then call Love Your Bath, a Jacuzzi® Bath Remodel dealer. A designer comes to your home, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. We do not promise coverage.

Once you have your plan's answer and a quote in hand, you can decide with no guessing. You step into the tub instead of climbing over a wall. You sit on a built-in seat and hold a grab bar. Sarah F. wrote in her review, "Exceptional professionals that went the extra mile to ensure I was truly happy with my new walkin tub."
