Stop worrying about slips and falls with new reachable bathroom fixtures, that make bathing and showering considerably simpler and safer for aged people.

Question 1

1) Why are these tubs so much more expensive than normal tubs?

Mainly you are paying for a list of safety features that are not available on a regular bathtub. These safety features are built into walk in bathtubs for persons with limited freedom to lower the likelihood of falling down. Version wall heights are typically 37 to 47 inches tall and include a built-in shower seat, textured floor, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, and a water-tight door. An important part of walk in baths is that there is a low step threshold to allow a user to readily enter into the bathtub unconcerned about the conventional high wall of a normal bathtub. The walk-in tubs also normally comprise a cleaning function, jet treatment, and enhanced drain alternatives. Furthermore, one of the reasons why the price varies among the walk-in baths is that the baths are custom-made depending on someone 's demands rather than factory replicated, so you can discover a bathtub that's especially made for somebody who wants wheelchair accessibility, a tub that fits a bigger person, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 2

2) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Michigan?

Aetna will not cover walk-in bathtubs under their traditional plans in Michigan. Aetna does not cover walk in bathtubs under their HMO and health network plans either. They normally follow Medicare's standards for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the restroom. In the event the member is bed- confined or room - confined some DMEs are considered medically necessary, instead of a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's necessary for day-to-day tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living activity and considered essential, toilet items which are considered medically necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated or incapable to transfer to and from a bathtub are listed by Aetna.

Question 3

If your impairment was a result of a work or car injury, check together with the correct insurance insurance company to determine if house adjustments resulting from your handicap are covered. Claims that include Livonia home modifications are admissible in insurance settlements. A person qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in a job that was insured by Social Security and have a medical condition which meets their definition of handicap. In case you're on disability or injured, benefits may be covered. Since SSI is a needs-based plan along with an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualifications for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person with a disability to achieve an occupational objective. The cash that is set aside under a PASS may be used for anything that contributes to an occupational goal and may be used to cover home adjustments through an SSI savings plan. If you're a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual plans that may allow you to deflect a number of the cost. There are Michigan residence adjustment grants that are available that might provide you support for the installation and purchase of a walk in tub: (1) the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant; (2) the Special Dwelling Adaptation (SHA) Grants; along with the Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) Grant. Contact the form 26-4555 to make an application for a SAH or SHA grant. For advice on all VA benefits in Michigan call 1-800-827-1000.

Choosing the right walk in tub for you means discussing the selection of layouts, sizes and styles to ensure it satisfies your own special needs and room conditions. You may need to pay an added fee for a custom shade since most manufacturers make bathtubs in white and cream.

Question 7

7) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Michigan?

Medicare doesn't cover walk-in bathtub equipment and installation costs in Michigan, because they're house adjustments, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment will not contain physical changes to a home, just medical gear and supplies which are used to help a patient in and out of bed or a seat, or use a shower or bathtub simpler and safer. Consumer Affairs indicates that you may wish to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom security reasons) a walk in bathtub is warranted to determine whether the equipment may be partly compensated. More times than not, they won't cover it. But if you are qualified for Medicaid, your state's system may provide you with some financial assistance for a walk-in bath. You may qualify for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for particular specialized medical equipment and availability adjustments. If you are a receiver of Medicaid and Medicare, you must also consider the Dual-Eligible Specific Needs Strategy. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may contemplate your qualifications if you can prove that a walk-in bathtub is medically necessary, not only a convenience, or as a prevention in the instance of a fall, together with a written prescription that clarifies the need for an individual to remain living in their own house. Medicaid provides an entire listing of waivers related to the elderly that we suggest that you review. Additionally, contact your Livonia or Michigan Area Agency on Aging (AAA) to investigate Medicaid Waivers and fiscal choices for long term care.

Many of the walk-in baths available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. Actually, many manufacturers advise that you've got a hot water tank that accommodates at least 50 gallons, even though some baths will function efficiently should you fill them with 40-60 gallons.
