Question 1

1) Are there any kits available for installing my own walk-in tub?

Yes, producers do offer do-it-yourself installations of a bathroom conversion kit. Depending on whether you have the correct tools and technical familiarity with the tools, it's not impossible. However, lots of times, someone thinks it's going to be affordable to purchase all the tools that are appropriate. These tools may be costly, so ensure you compare the cost of purchasing each of the tools and also the expense of your time learning the best way to install the kit with the expense of a professional setup. Then the instructions may seem fairly simple if you are someone who does a lot of home improvements. If not, you may want to save yourself the trouble and expense by investing in Lawrence professionals who will install it correctly. Only make certain the unit is tested by them according to producer 's directions and that the unit you bought didn't get harmed during transportation.

Question 2

Yes. Occasionally, however, it is crucial to modify the pipes determined by the place of the drains. Installers may have to put in a fitting to the existing wastewater conduit for a walk in bathtub. Existing plumbing may allow for slower drain times or faster drain times.

Question 3

3) Will AARP cover the cost of equipment and installation?

AARP isn't a supplier of insurance, but contracts with insurance companies to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP does not make people health plan recommendations and doesn't cover the expense of walk-in bathtubs or any wellness needs. AARP does provide coverage like other health plans and Medicare Supplement Insurance and access to medical care tools to members as a resource, but member advantages are provided by third parties. Check with the plans which are recorded in Kansas under the membership services of AARP.

Question 4

4) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Kansas?

Medicare does not cover walk in tub equipment and installation costs in Kansas, since they're home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't contain physical changes to a house, simply medical gear and materials that are used to help a patient in and out of a seat or bed, or use a shower or bathtub simpler and safer. Consumer Affairs suggests that you might wish to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom security reasons) a walk in tub is justified to ascertain if the gear can be somewhat compensated. More often than not, they won't cover it. However, if you're eligible for Medicaid, your state's system may offer you some financial assistance for a walk-in bath. You may be eligible for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for specific specialized medical equipment and accessibility modifications. In case you are a receiver of Medicare and Medicaid, you should also consider the Dual-Eligible Specific Needs Strategy. This strategy is part of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may consider your qualifications when you can demonstrate that a walk-in bath is medically necessary, not merely a convenience, or as a prevention in the case of a fall, along with a written prescription that clarifies the need for someone to remain residing in their home. Medicaid offers a whole record of waivers related to the elderly that we recommend that you review. Additionally, contact your Lawrence or Kansas Area Agency on Aging (AAA) to investigate Medicaid Waivers and fiscal choices for long term care.

Question 6

Aetna will not insure walk-in tubs under their plans that are traditional in Kansas. Aetna doesn't cover walk in bathtubs under their HMO and health network plans either. They generally follow Medicare's standards for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the restroom. In the event the member is bed- room or confined - confined some DMEs are considered medically necessary, as opposed to a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's necessary for daily tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered essential and is considered a daily living action, Aetna lists bathroom items which are considered necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated or unable to transfer to and from a tub.

Question 7

7) How much is it for a cheaper walk-in bathtub?

A more economical basic version of the walk in bathtub can cost between $1,7000 and $3,000 in [

Question 8

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

Largely you're paying for a listing of safety features that are unavailable on a regular bathtub. These safety features are built into walk in tubs for persons with limited mobility to lower the chance of falling down. An essential aspect of walk in baths is that there is a low step threshold to permit a user to easily enter into the tub unconcerned about the typical high wall of a regular bathtub. The walk-in bathtubs also normally contain enhanced drain options, jet treatment, and a cleaning function. Also, among the reasons why the price varies among the walk-in baths is that the baths are custom-made depending on someone 's needs rather than factory replicated, in order to discover a bath that is specially made for somebody who needs wheelchair access, a tub that fits a larger individual, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 9

9) Is there any additional structural support needed before installation?

Many walk in bathtubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support frame with leveling feet that's included with your bath that was bought. The flooring in the bathroom should have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the bathtub as well as the weight of the water. Our Lawrence installer will check to ascertain if it is not if the floor is level and otherwise, then they'll make use of the leveling legs to adjust the amount of the bath. Obviously, the prior tub will need to be removed. Also, the if replacing tile or the wall in the area will have to be removed.

Question 10

10) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Kansas?

If your disability was due to a work or car injury, check together with the right insurance carrier to determine if house adjustments resulting from your KS impairment are insured. Claims that contain Lawrence home alterations are admissible in insurance settlements. A person qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in work that was covered by Social Security and have a medical condition that meets their definition of impairment. Benefits could be insured, in the event you're injured or on impairment. Since SSI is a needs-based plan as well as an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualifications for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to attain an occupational goal. The cash that's set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that leads to an occupational goal and can be utilized to cover house adjustments through an SSI savings strategy. In the event you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual plans that may enable you to deflect a number of the cost. You may also ask if you qualify for the which is modeled after Medicaid's Consumer Directed HCBS, or the VA Aid and Attendance, Housebound and other Pensions. Contact the VA and ask for VA form 26-4555 to submit an application for SHA or SAH grant. For information on all VA benefits in Kansas call 1-800-827-1000.

Question 11

11) Is there a way to re-sell the tub once we are done with it?

You can re-sell find or used walk-in baths being sold online. However, many folks generally want to ensure they are purchasing a walk in tub that personally matches with their needs for the long-term. They're not as inclined to take a big risk by paying all the costs associated with transport as well as the removal of their present bathtub without assurance and a bit more investment in the status and quality of their purchase. There isn't actually a huge marketplace for used plumbing fixtures. Eventually, should you think you could try to resell your walk in tub, the following buyer may want to know whether the lifetime warranty is extended to other owners as well or if they're going to have to cover the costs related to a door seal or alternative part damages that may occur with use.

Question 12

12) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems apply a gravity only drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power assisted drainage systems. Normally, the drainage system in a walk-in bathtub is attached to the standard bathtub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed with putty or a foam washer under its flange. Since a bather cannot leave the bath until all the water is drained, the large difference is that manufacturers have attempted to reduce the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water to drain can leave a bather feeling cooled. Some attributes may cost you more, therefore it is always advisable to ask. Finally, get to be aware of the difference between frameless baths and framed baths since because they do not alter the drain height of your existing bath frameless tubs often drain quicker than framed baths. Framed baths are built on a steel frame and also the bottom of the bathtub is hung off the ground. Frameless tubs are designed with an extra-strength form that doesn't necessitate a steel frame and the underside of the bathtub isn't hung in the air.
