Will Medicare pay for a walk-in tub or shower conversion?
Straight answers on walk-in tubs for Cocoa Beach, FL homeowners who are on Medicare.
You live in Cocoa Beach, on Florida's Space Coast, and getting in and out of your tub has started to worry you. You are on Medicare and hope it will help with a walk-in tub or a tub-to-shower change. But your neighbor, your doctor's office and a website each told you something different. It is hard to know who to believe.
Ask five people and you may get five answers. That is normal. Coverage depends on the plan you have, and no one outside your plan can promise what it will do. Whether Medicare or any other plan helps pay is decided by your own plan. The answer that counts comes from the people who run it.
You can still learn what the job involves while you wait. A walk-in tub has a low entry, an easy-to-open door that seals against water, grab bars and a built-in seat. How big the job is depends on the tub size and the comfort features you pick, like water jets, heated air or a quick drain. A shower conversion depends on the size and layout of the space, the base, the walls and extras like a seat or grab bars.

It is true that you get in before the tub fills and stay in until it drains. Ask about fill and drain speed when you compare models, and think about how you bathe today.
