Question 2

Durable medical equipment does not contain physical changes to a house, just medical equipment and supplies that are accustomed to help a patient in and out of a chair or bed, or use a shower or tub easier and safer. Consumer Affairs implies that you might wish to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility safety reasons) a walk-in bath is justified to ascertain whether the equipment may be partially compensated. More often than not, it won't be covered by them. However, if you are eligible for Medicaid, the program in your state may offer you some financial assistance for a walk in bath. You may qualify for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for particular specialized medical equipment and availability modifications. In the event you are a recipient of Medicare and Medicaid, it's also wise to think about the Double-Eligible Special Needs Strategy.

Aetna doesn't insure walk in tubs under their traditional plans in Maryland. They normally follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the restroom. In case the member is bed- room or confined - confined some DMEs are considered necessary, rather than a convenience. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's necessary for daily activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living action and considered crucial, Aetna lists toilet items that are incapable to transfer to and from a tub or considered medically necessary if a member is unable to bathe or shower without being seated.

Some manufacturers recommend that you open your bathroom window for an hour every single day to let moisture escape.

Question 6

If your impairment was due to a work or vehicle injury, check with the appropriate insurance carrier to see if home adjustments resulting from your MD handicap are insured. Claims that contain Hagerstown house modifications are not inadmissible in insurance resolutions. A person qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in work that was insured by Social Security and have a health condition which meets their definition of disability. Benefits may be insured in case you are on impairment or injured. Since SSI is a needs-based plan along with an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualification for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person with a disability to attain an occupational goal. The money that's set aside under a PASS may be used for anything that results in an occupational goal and may be utilized to cover home alterations through an SSI savings strategy. In case you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that may assist you to deflect some of the cost.
