Frequently Asked Questions


1) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Washington?

Aetna will not insure walk-in bathtubs under their plans that are traditional in Washington. They generally follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the toilet. If the member is bed- confined or room - some DMEs are considered medically necessary, instead of a convenience. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is needed for day-to-day activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living action and considered vital, Aetna lists bathroom 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 bath.

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

Initial testing and appropriate setup should provide you with a leakproof encounter, yet there are events that customers report where they experienced flows. Under appropriate circumstances, the door seal should compress making it totally leak proof. Some units contain another drain under the entrance door to help prevent leaks if the door does leak. Inquire if this attribute is contained. As it covers the seal along with the door in the case of a flow, we highly advise that you get a lifetime guarantee. Replacement seals will cost you. In addition, it is crucial that you take great care of the walk-in bath door when the tub is not in use to prevent early 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. Also, any modest set of soil or debris on the door seal or where the seal comes in touch with the door jamb can result in a minor flow through the door seal, so always wipe down the door seal.

Yet, many times, someone thinks it is definitely going to be cheap to purchase all the tools that are proper. These tools could be costly, so make sure you compare the expense of buying all of the tools as well as the expense of your time learning how to install the kit with all the expense of a professional installation. Then the instructions may seem fairly easy if you're someone who does a great deal of home improvements.

Yes. There are walk in bathtub installments that give you a sizable standing place for stand-up showers. You can shower standing up or sitting down. Make sure you get the proper dimensions for the walk-in bathtub so you don't feel cramped during a standup shower. Also, if you intend to maintain your standing shower because if your faucet isn't directly against a wall, it is far more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is always to ask about the faucet place.

8) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Washington?

In case your disability was due to a vehicle or work injury, check with the appropriate insurance insurance company to determine if home modifications resulting from your WA impairment are insured. Claims that comprise Bellingham dwelling adjustments are not inadmissible in insurance settlements. A person qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in a job that was insured by Social Security and have a medical condition that meets their definition of disability. Benefits might be covered, in case you are injured or on impairment. Since SSI is a needs-based program along with an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualification for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to achieve an occupational objective. The cash that is set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that contributes to an occupational objective and can be utilized to cover house modifications through an SSI savings strategy. You'll find out more about PASS through your local Social Security Administration office or call toll free 800 772 1213. If you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that may enable you to deflect some of the cost.

Contact the VA and ask for VA form 26-4555 to apply for SHA or SAH grant. For advice on all VA benefits in Washington call 1 800 827 1000.

9) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they can leak. Consumers who bought more inferior quality fiberglass in a framed walk in bathtub have reported that their walk-in bath finally showed spider breaking in the floor area and then leaked. Another common criticism from people who purchased a poor quality bath and attempted to save cash comes from door flows. When buying a walk-in bath, make sure you buy a lifetime guarantee, because as soon as the door flows, you can't use the bath, until the seal is fixed by you. Make sure the walk in bathtub is strong and inflexible to prevent any flex that inhibits a water-tight door. Additionally during hauling any damage that may have happened can loosen fittings and mishandling and cause leakage. Before using the walk-in tub, it is important that the bathtub is tested by the installer properly according to the instruction manual. If the tub isn't installed level together with the supporting features supplied, the water may have trouble draining properly and might cause the door to leak. Finally, be sure to understand the risks associated with the positioning of your walk-in tub, notably alcoves, since they have particular conditions to prevent leaking.

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

Yes. Walk in baths can be personalized to your preference. Check with the manufacturers about Washington choices. Colors which are uniform with the majority of toilets are only offered by some. Picking the right walk-in tub for you means discussing the variety of layouts, sizes and styles to ensure it suits your own special needs and room requirements. You may need to pay an additional fee for a custom color since most manufacturers make tubs in white and cream.

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

Yes. A walk-in bathtub is not usually shorter than an average bath tub, which includes about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some makers say if a typical shower is 7 minutes that you just use exactly the same quantity of water as a shower that is regular and you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Many of the walk in tubs available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. The truth is, many manufacturers advise that you've got a hot water tank that fits at least 50 gallons, although some tubs will function effectively should you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

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

Many walk-in baths are mounted to a stainless steel welded support framework with leveling feet that's included with your purchased bath. The flooring in the bathroom should have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the bathtub plus the weight of the water. Our Bellingham installer will check to ascertain when it is not, if the floor is level and otherwise, then they are going to make use of the leveling legs to correct the amount of the bath. Obviously, the previous bath will have to be eliminated. Also, the if replacing tile or the wall in the area will have to be removed.
