Will Medicare pay for a walk-in tub or shower conversion?
Straight answers on walk-in tubs and what to ask your plan, for homeowners in Vero Beach, FL.
You are on Medicare and hoping it can help with a walk-in tub, or with turning your tub into a shower. You ask around Vero Beach and everyone gives you a different answer. The median age in Vero Beach is 55.6 years, so you are not the only one wondering.
Everyone gives you a different answer because there is no single answer. Medicare comes in different plans, and each one has its own rules and extra benefits. Some people also have a supplement or other coverage on top. A walk-in tub and a tub-to-shower conversion may be treated differently from plan to plan. The only way to know is to ask the plan that holds your card.
Price depends on what you choose and the space you have. For a walk-in tub, it comes down to the tub size and the accessibility and wellness features you pick, such as water jets, heated air or a quick drain. For a shower, it depends on the size and layout, the base, the walls and the finish, plus extras like a seat or grab bars. The quote covers the product and the installation.
This week, call the number on your plan card. Ask plainly: does my plan help with a walk-in tub, or with changing a tub to a shower? Ask what it needs in writing. Write down the answer and the name of the person who gave it. Then call Love Your Bath. A designer comes to your Vero Beach home, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. We also offer financing. We do not promise coverage, because that depends on your plan.
Once you know what your plan says, you can decide with a clear head. A walk-in tub gives you a low step in instead of a climb over the wall, plus a built-in seat and grab bars. You still get a long, relaxing bath. Sarah F. wrote, "Exceptional professionals that went the extra mile to ensure I was truly happy with my new walkin tub."

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.
