Question 1

1) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems employ a gravitation just drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Typically, the drainage system in a walk-in bath is attached to the standard tub drain, which is threaded into a flat pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed using a foam washer or putty under its flange. Comparing double drain alternatives to rapid drain alternatives is important when considering that most walk in bathtubs take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which demands the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some attributes may cost you more, so it is almost always advisable to inquire. Finally, get to be aware of the difference between frameless baths and framed tubs since frameless baths tend to empty faster than framed tubs, because they don't alter the drain height of your existing bath. Framed tubs are constructed on a steel frame and the bottom of the tub is suspended off the floor. Frameless baths are made with an extra-strength form that does not need a steel frame and the bottom of the tub is not hung in the air.

Question 2

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

Aetna doesn't insure walk-in bathtubs under their plans that are traditional in Alabama. Aetna does not insure walk in tubs under their HMO and health network plans either. They typically follow Medicare's standards for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the bathroom. If the member is bed- confined or room - confined some DMEs are considered necessary, instead of a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is necessary for day-to-day activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered crucial and is considered a daily living activity, bathroom items that are considered medically necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated or unable to transfer to and from a bathtub are listed by Aetna.

Question 3

3) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Proper installation and initial testing should offer you a leak proof encounter, however there are incidents where they experienced flows that customers report. Under suitable circumstances, the weight of the water should compress the door seal making it completely leak proof. Some units contain another drain below the entrance door to help prevent escapes if the door does leak. If this feature is comprised ask. We highly recommend that you just get a lifetime guarantee, because it covers the door in the instance of a leak and the seal. Replacement seals will cost you. Many people replace the door seal on a walk in tub themselves. Also, it is very important to take good attention of the walk-in tub door when the bath isn't in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping door jamb and the door seal down after each use can preserve the integrity of the water seal. Follow the maintenance as well as care directions.

Question 4

AARP does provide access to medical care tools and coverage like other health plans and Medicare Supplement Insurance to members as a resource, but third parties provide member benefits. Check with the plans that are recorded under the membership services of AARP in Alabama.

Question 5

5) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Alabama?

Medicare does not cover walk-in bathtub equipment and installation costs in Alabama, because they're dwelling adjustments, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't contain physical changes to a home, just medical equipment and supplies that are used 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 implies that you might wish to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom security reasons) a walk in bath is warranted to determine whether the equipment could be partially compensated. More times than not, they will not cover it. However, if you are eligible for Medicaid, your state's system may give you some financial assistance for a walk-in bath. You may qualify for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for certain specialized medical equipment and accessibility adjustments. If you're a recipient of Medicare and Medicaid, it's also wise to think about the Dual-Eligible Specific Needs Plan. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may consider your qualifications if you're able to prove that a walk in bath is medically necessary, not just a convenience, or as a prevention in the instance of a fall, along with a written prescription that describes the need for someone to remain living in their own residence. Medicaid offers a whole listing of waivers related to the elderly that we suggest that you review.
