Frequently Asked Questions


1) What sort of guarantees are there that these tubs won’t leak and damage my Valdosta house?

Consumer Affairs urges that an initial owner buy a lifetime guarantee to give peace of mind to buyers about escapes. Additionally, ask if the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners as well. For most Georgia home installments, this will be included for a set number of years.

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

Medicare does not cover walk-in bathtub equipment and installation prices in Georgia, since they're home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment doesn't include physical changes to a house, only medical equipment and materials that are accustomed to help a patient in and out of bed or a seat, or use a shower or bathtub easier and safer. Consumer Affairs suggests that you may wish to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom safety reasons) a walk-in tub is warranted to determine if the equipment can be partly compensated. More times than not, they will not cover it. However, if you're qualified for Medicaid, the program in your state 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. In the event you are a receiver of Medicaid and Medicare, it's also wise to consider the Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plan. Medicaid offers an entire listing of waivers related to the elderly that we recommend that you review.

3) What types of financing are available in Georgia if insurance doesn't cover home modifications?

The American Elder Care Research Organization lists several other financial assistance avenues to consider when searching for aid to buy your walk in tub. (1) The US Department of Agriculture helps low income and elderly residents of rural areas make home modifications to enable aging in place. The USA Rural Development plan is also called the Section 504 program, the Very Low-Income Housing Repair program and the RD 504 Loan Program. The adjustments may include a walk-in tub. There are age, income and geographical demands to participate. Then, you can click in your county and a record of service centers including phone numbers will pop up.

Contact them at http://www.togetherwetransform.org/find-your-local-affiliate (4)There are other options to consider. The IRS may determine that your home modification qualifies for tax deductions as a dental and medical expense. This shouldn't be confused with the Dependent Care Tax Credit, which is used for dependent care expenses incurred by a primary taxpayer to enable them to work rather than caring for their dependent. There are also qualifications to be able to claim an individual who needs attention as a dependent. Phone the Internal Revenue Service to see if you're able to deduct the cost of installing your walkin tub. IRS Publication 502 is a good resource that can allow you to estimate whether modifying your bathroom qualifies you to deduct it as a medical expense. You can also phone them at (800) 829-1040.

Our Valdosta installer will check to ascertain if it's not, if the floor is level and otherwise, then they will make use of the leveling legs to correct the amount of the bath. Obviously, the previous bath will need to be removed. Also, the if replacing, the wall or tile in the area will need to be removed.

5) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Georgia?

Aetna will not insure walk-in bathtubs under their plans that are conventional in Georgia. Aetna doesn't insure walk-in tubs under their HMO and health network plans either.

If the member is bed- confined or room - confined some DMEs are considered medically necessary, rather than a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is needed for daily tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living activity and considered vital, bathroom items which are considered medically necessary if a member is unable to bathe or shower without being seated or incapable to transfer to and from a bath are listed by Aetna.

There are different types of handles depending on the model you decide to buy. Be sure it's a handle that you can easily operate. Following that, you shut the floor drain and make sure that the anti-scald device has already been preset before using the tub. Makers may also advocate a maximum time of use.

There's not actually a big market for used plumbing fixtures. In the event you're uncertain how long you're going to be at your Valdosta residence and can't warrant a long-term care solution of a leading walk-in bath installation, then there are simple measure retrofits that give you the ability to return the toilet to an unmodified bathroom to avoid turning potential buyers away who don't desire to pay for a huge removal.

Ensure that the walk-in bath is powerful and rigid to prevent any flex that inhibits a watertight door. Additionally any damage that may have happened during transporting can loosen fittings and mishandling and cause leakage. Before utilizing the walk in tub, it's important that the bathtub is tested by the installer properly according to the instruction manual.
