Does Medicare cover walk-in tubs?

Health insurance and Medicare don’t usually cover the cost of a walk-in tub. It’s worthwhile to talk to your health insurance because if your doctor deems it medically necessary, they may guide you on how to get a portion of it covered.

Are walk-in baths the same thing as walk-in showers?

No, walk-in baths are not the same as walk-in showers. Walk-in baths have a tub that is built into the shower, whereas walk-in showers only have a shower area. Walk-in baths are typically used by people with limited mobility or who are worried about falling.

Are Kohler Walk-In Tubs worth it?

Kohler’s products are high quality, offer a variety of features and designs, and come with a lifetime limited warranty. The only downside is that they are on the more expensive side.

What are the problems with walk-in tubs?

Some walk-in tubs fill and drain slower than others. Higher-end models like Kohler resolve this issue with their fast-drain technology that actively pumps water from your tub, draining all of the water in just minutes. Walk-in tubs also require quite more water, but this is typically okay if you have a newer water tank.
