Will Medicare pay for a walk-in tub?
Straight answers on walk-in tubs and what to ask your plan, for homeowners in Kissimmee, FL.
You are on Medicare and hoping it helps with a walk-in tub, or with turning your tub into a shower. Then you hear a different answer from everyone you ask. If you live in Kissimmee, that is frustrating when stepping over the tub wall already worries you. Here is a clear way to find out where you stand.
Ask five people and you may get five answers. That is common, because coverage depends on the plan you hold, not on the product. A walk-in tub has a low entry, a built-in seat and grab bars. A tub-to-shower conversion is a different kind of job. Plans may treat them differently, so the wording on your paperwork matters. Nobody can give you a fair yes or no without looking at your own plan.
What the job involves depends on what you pick. The size and layout of your tub space matters. So does the choice between a walk-in tub, a walk-in shower or a tub-to-shower conversion. For a walk-in tub, the tub size and the comfort and safety features you choose change the scope. Options include water jets, heated air and a quick drain. Every bathroom is quoted in the home, because no two are alike. The quote covers the product and the installation.
This week, call the number on your plan card and ask what it covers. Ask about a walk-in tub, a walk-in shower and a tub-to-shower conversion. Write down who you spoke with and what they told you. Then, if you want to see your options, Love Your Bath, a Jacuzzi® Bath Remodel dealer, can send a designer to your Kissimmee home. They listen, build a custom plan and give you a free quote. Financing is also available. We do not promise any coverage.
Once you have your plan's answer and a real quote, the choice gets simpler. You decide with facts, not guesses. Picture a step in instead of a climb, a seat, and grab bars within reach.

disadvantages of a walk-in tub
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. If you mostly shower, a walk-in shower may suit you better. Our designer will tell you honestly which one fits how you use the bathroom.
