Will Medicare pay for a walk-in tub or shower conversion?
What to ask your plan before you buy a walk-in tub, Palm Bay, FL.
After a hot, humid Palm Bay day, getting in and out of the tub should not feel like a risk. If you are on Medicare, you may have asked whether it will pay for a walk-in tub or a tub-to-shower conversion. Neighbors give you a yes, a no and a maybe. That is frustrating, so here is a plain answer.
You are not the first Palm Bay homeowner to rethink the tub or shower. Herman K. wrote in a Google review, "I am very pleased with the job Marcel did installing my shower." Three shower replacements are on file here in Palm Bay. One has smooth Sandstorm walls with Brushed Nickel fixtures. Another has Alabaster walls with Chrome. A third has a 3x6 subway pattern and a dual bypass door. You pick the look, and the same is true for a walk-in tub.
So why do you hear so many answers? Medicare is one program, but many people also have a supplement or an Advantage plan, and each one has its own rules. What helped a friend may not apply to you. Whether any plan helps pay depends on your own plan, and nobody else can answer that for you.
This week, call the number on your plan card. Ask what it covers for a walk-in tub and for a walk-in shower. Ask what paperwork it needs. Write down the date and the name of the person you spoke with. Be careful with anyone who promises coverage before your plan has said so. When you want to see your options, Love Your Bath can send a designer to your home. The designer listens, then builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Financing is available too. We do not promise coverage.
The price is set in your home because every bathroom is different. For a walk-in tub, it depends on the tub size and the safety and comfort features you choose. For a shower, it depends on the space, the base, the wall style and finish, and extras like a seat. The quote covers the product and the installation. A walk-in tub has a low entry, a built-in seat and grab bars, so you step in instead of climbing over.

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.
