AARP does not make health plan recommendations for people and does not cover the price of walk in tubs or any wellness needs. AARP does provide access to medical care tools and coverage like Medicare Supplement Insurance and other health plans to members as a resource, but member advantages are provided by third parties. Check with the plans which are listed under the membership services of AARP in Massachusetts.

Question 3

3) What types of financing are available in Massachusetts if insurance doesn't cover home modifications?

The American Elder Care Research Organization lists several other financial assistance avenues to think about when looking for help to purchase your walk-in bath. The USA Rural Development plan is also known as the Section 504 program, the Very Low-Income Housing Repair program and the RD 504 Loan Program. The alterations may have a walk in bathtub. There are geographic and age, income requirements to participate.

Contact them at http://www.togetherwetransform.org/find-your-local-affiliate (4)There are other options to consider. The IRS may decide that your home modification qualifies for tax deductions as a dental and medical expense.

There are also qualifications to be able to claim an individual who requires attention as a dependent. Phone the IRS to determine if you're able to deduct the price of installing your walkin bathtub. IRS Publication 502 is a great resource that will enable you to estimate whether altering your toilet qualifies you to deduct it as a medical expense. You can also phone them at (800) 829-1040.

Question 4

4) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Massachusetts?

Aetna doesn't cover walk in bathtubs under their plans that are conventional in Massachusetts. They typically follow Medicare's standards for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the toilet. If the member is bed- room or confined - some DMEs are considered necessary, rather than a convenience. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is vital for day-to-day tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered crucial and is considered a daily living activity, 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 are listed by Aetna.

Question 5

5) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they can leak. Consumers who bought poorer quality fiberglass in a framed walk in bathtub have reported that their walk in bathtub finally demonstrated spider breaking in the ground region and then leaked. Another common complaint from people who attempted to save money and purchased a lousy quality tub comes from door escapes. When buying a walk in bath, ensure you purchase a lifetime warranty, because as soon as the door flows, you can't use the bath, until you repair the seal. Ensure the walk-in bath is strong and inflexible to avoid any flex that inhibits a water tight door. Also any damage that may have occurred during carrying can loosen appointments and mishandling and cause leakage. Before using the walk-in bath, it is important that the bathtub is tested by the installer correctly according to the instruction manual. If the bath isn't installed level together with the supporting features supplied, the water may create the door to leak and may have trouble emptying correctly. Finally, make sure you understand the hazards linked to the placement of your walk-in bathtub, particularly alcoves, since they have special requirements to prevent leaking.

Question 6

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

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

Question 7

7) What sort of guarantees are there that these tubs won’t leak and damage my Quincy house?

Consumer Affairs urges that an owner that is original purchase a lifetime warranty to give peace of mind to buyers about flows. Also, ask if the lifetime warranty is extended to other owners too. For a set amount of years, this will probably be included for most Massachusetts house setups.

Question 8

8) Is there a way to get Jacuzzi jets in my tub?

Yes. Be mindful of the amount of air and water that comes out of the jets to ensure it's the proper number which will soothe pains and your sore muscles with a massage sensation. Jets could be placed to target particular regions to provide for the best effects. Many Quincy customers enjoy the therapeutic effect of having jets installed in their own walk-in bath for a wide array of health conditions that gain from the additional relaxation.

Question 9

9) Will a tub like this look bad for my homeowner’s insurance in Massachusetts?

Check with your Quincy homeowner's insurance to be sure it'll cover you against this sort of damage. You may require a house modification license from the Quincy, MA building department to set up a bath, especially if walls have to be removed to match your toilet plans. Above all, if you needed a permit and you didn't get one AND somehow your house suffers from damage from the installed walk in bathtub, your losses may not be covered by your homeowner's insurance. If you plan on ever selling your Quincy house, there are lots of buyer beware messages out there that will direct potential buyers from your house if there have been any progress without licenses since it does change homeowner's insurance. Buyers see their homeowners insurance as well as the permits as protections on their investments in homes.

Question 10

10) Do these tubs use more water than conventional tubs?

Yes. A walk in tub is not usually shorter than an average bath tub, which contains about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some makers say that you just use the exact same amount of water as a shower that is standard if a typical shower is 7 minutes and you also use 7 gallons of water a minute. Most of the walk in tubs available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In fact, many manufacturers advise that you've got a hot water tank that admits at least 50 gallons, even though some tubs will operate efficiently if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 11

11) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Massachusetts?

Medicare will not cover walk in tub equipment and installation costs in Massachusetts, because they're home adjustments, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment will not include physical changes to a house, simply medical equipment and materials that are accustomed to help a patient in and out of bed or a seat, or make use of a shower or tub simpler and safer. Consumer Affairs indicates that you may wish to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility security reasons) a walk in tub is justified to ascertain if the equipment may be somewhat compensated. More often than not, they will not cover it. But if you're qualified for Medicaid, your state's system may provide you with some financial assistance for a walk-in bathtub. You may qualify for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for particular specialized medical equipment and accessibility modifications. If you're a receiver of Medicare and Medicaid, you should also consider the Dual-Eligible Specific Needs Strategy. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may contemplate your qualifications if you can demonstrate that a walk-in bathtub is medically necessary, not only a convenience, or as a prevention in the case of a fall, together with a written prescription that describes the need for a person to stay living in their residence. Medicaid provides a whole list of waivers related to the elderly that we recommend that you review.

Question 12

12) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Yes. Check with the manufacturers about Massachusetts choices. Some only offer colours that are uniform with most bathrooms. Selecting the right walk in bathtub for you means discussing the variety of styles, sizes and layouts to make sure it suits your own special needs and room requirements. Since most makers make tubs in cream and white, you may need to pay an additional fee for a custom colour.
