Will Medicare pay for a walk-in tub or shower conversion?
What to ask your plan, and where to start with a walk-in tub, Leesburg, FL.
You are on Medicare and hoping it will help with a walk-in tub, or with turning your tub into a shower. Then you ask around in Leesburg and get a different answer from everyone. That is frustrating when climbing over the tub wall already worries you. Here is a straight path to a real answer.
You hear different answers because the answer is not the same for everyone. Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans, supplement plans and other programs each have their own rules. A walk-in tub, a walk-in shower and a tub-to-shower conversion may not be treated the same way. The only answer that counts is the one from your own plan.
Whatever your plan says, it helps to know what the project involves. The price depends on what you pick and on your space. For a walk-in tub, that means the tub size and the accessibility and wellness features you choose, like grab bars, water jets, heated air or a quick drain. For a shower conversion, it means the size and layout of the space, the base, the wall style and finish, and extras like a seat. Every bathroom is different, so the quote is made in your home.
This week, call your plan. Ask if it covers a walk-in tub, a walk-in shower or a tub-to-shower conversion, and what paperwork it needs. Write down the answer and who gave it. Then call Love Your Bath. We do not promise coverage, and we will not guess at what your plan says. A designer comes to your home, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. We also offer financing.
Once it is sorted out, you step in through a low entry instead of climbing over a wall. You sit on a built-in seat and hold a grab bar. You keep the long, relaxing bath.

Vinnie was our technician that was a non-stop working professional. From his demolition to rebuild he left the job daily clean & ready for the next step. Once complete, we were very pleased with his care and work. I can seriously say that Love Your Bath and their staff are quality from the start. You will not be disappointed."

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.
