Our Frederick team of installers is prepared to make the daily task of cleaning yourself fun and simple again, with new gear that practically eliminates slips and falls in toilet.

Question 1

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

Proper setup and initial testing should give you a leak-proof experience, nevertheless there are incidents that customers report where they experienced leaks. Under proper conditions, the door seal should compress making it totally leak proof. Some units contain a second drain under the entrance door to help prevent escapes if the door does leak. Inquire if this feature is contained. We highly recommend that you simply get a lifetime guarantee, as it covers the door in the instance of a leak along with the seal. Replacement seals will cost you. Also, it's vital that you take great attention of the walk in tub door when the bath isn't in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping the door seal and door jamb down after every use can keep the integrity of the water seal. Follow the maintenance and care instructions.

Question 2

2) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Maryland?

Medicare doesn't cover walk in tub equipment and installation prices in Maryland, since they are home alterations, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't include physical changes to a house, simply medical equipment and supplies which are used to help a patient in and out of a seat or bed, or make use of a shower or bath simpler and safer. Consumer Affairs suggests that you might want to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom security reasons) a walk-in bathtub is justified to ascertain if the gear can be somewhat compensated. More often than not, they will not cover it. But if you are eligible for Medicaid, your state's system may provide you with some financial assistance for a walk in tub. You may qualify for a House and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for certain specialized medical equipment and availability modifications. In the event you are a receiver of Medicaid and Medicare, it's also wise to consider the Double-Eligible Specific Needs Plan. This plan is a portion of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may consider your eligibility if you're able to demonstrate that a walk-in bathtub is medically necessary, not just a convenience, or as a prevention in the case of a fall, along with a written prescription that clarifies the requirement for someone to stay dwelling in their own residence. Medicaid provides a complete listing of waivers applicable to the elderly that we recommend that you review.

Question 3

3) Can the shower be used still with a walk-in bathtub?

Yes. There are walkin tub installations that provide you with a sizable standing area for stand-up showers. You can either shower sitting down or standing up. Be sure to get the appropriate measurements for the walk in tub in order you do not feel cramped during a stand up shower. Also, another thing to keep in mind is always to ask about the faucet place, because if your faucet is not directly against a wall, it's a lot more difficult to tap into your existing shower should you want to maintain your standing shower.

Question 5

Many upgraded homeowner's insurance policies protect against flooding from your pipes and appliances.

Buyers see the licenses and their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in homes.

Question 6

6) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they can leak. Another common criticism from people who attempted to save money and bought a lousy quality bath comes from door flows. When purchasing a walk in tub, be sure to buy a lifetime warranty, because as soon as the door leaks, the tub can't be used by you, until you repair the seal. Be sure that the walk in bathtub is rigid and strong to prevent any flex that inhibits a water tight door. Also any damage that could have occurred during transporting can loosen appointments and mishandling and cause leakage. Before utilizing the walk in tub, it's significant the installer analyze the bathtub properly according to the instruction manual.

Question 9

If the member is bed- room or confined - confined some DMEs are considered medically 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.
