Our Tampa team of installers is ready to make the daily task of cleaning yourself fun and simple with new equipment that almost removes slips and falls in toilet.

Question 1

1) About how long does the installation process take with your Tampa installers?

Once the tub arrives, an installation requires between one and three days of labor in Tampa. It really depends on the scope of the work. You should let us know if there's a critical deadline involving a family member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from Florida rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 2

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

Many walk-in bathtubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support framework with leveling feet that's included with your purchased tub. The floor in the toilet has to have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the bathtub as well as the weight of the water. Our Tampa installer will check to determine if it's not, whether the floor is level and otherwise, then they are going to use the leveling legs to correct the level of the bath. Of course, the last tub will need to be eliminated. In addition, the if replacing tile or the wall in the area will have to be removed.

Question 3

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

Yes. A walk-in tub is generally taller than an average bath tub, which contains about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some makers say that you just use the exact same amount of water as a shower that is typical if a standard shower is 7 minutes and also you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Most of the walk in baths on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. Actually, many manufacturers recommend that you have a hot water tank that admits at least 50 gallons, though some bathtubs will operate efficiently should you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 4

4) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Florida?

Aetna will not cover walk in bathtubs under their plans that are traditional in Florida. Aetna does not cover walk in bathtubs under their HMO and health network plans either. They generally follow Medicare's standards for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the restroom. In the event the member is bed- confined or room - some DMEs are considered medically necessary, instead of a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's necessary for day-to-day tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living activity and considered crucial, Aetna lists bathroom items which are considered medically necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated or unable to transfer to and from a bathtub.

Question 5

5) How much is it for a cheaper walk-in bathtub?

Question 7

7) Do these tubs drain normally?

Question 8

A walk-in bath in Tampa generally ranges in cost from $1,700 to over $30,000. The cost also fluctuates depending on whether you pick fiberglass or acrylic tubs. Everybody differs and ensuring that a walk-in bath works for somebody 's unique position is very critical because it's typically replacing a bathing or bathtub assembly that's not satisfying their needs. A good walk in tub runs between $8, $3,000 000 installed. Some providers offer monthly payments or a cash bonus.

Question 9

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

Yes. There are walk in bath installations that provide you with a large standing place for stand-up showers. You can either shower sitting down or standing up. Be sure to get the correct dimensions for the walk in bath so you don't feel cramped during a standup shower. Additionally, in case you wish to maintain your standing shower since if your faucet is not right against a wall, it is much more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind would be to ask about the faucet place.

Question 10

10) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Florida?

Medicare does not cover walk-in bathtub equipment and installation costs in Florida, since they are home alterations, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment will not include physical changes to a home, only medical gear and supplies that are used to help a patient in and out of bed or a seat, or make use of a shower or bath easier and safer. Consumer Affairs implies that you might wish to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom safety reasons) a walk in bathtub is justified to ascertain if the equipment can be partially compensated. More often than not, it won't be covered by them. However, if you're eligible for Medicaid, your state's program 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 accessibility adjustments. If you are a recipient of Medicare and Medicaid, you must also think about the Dual-Eligible Specific Needs Strategy. This strategy is a portion of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. The Special Needs Plan (SNP) or Medicaid may contemplate your eligibility if you can prove that a walk-in bathtub is medically necessary, not just a convenience, or as a prevention in the instance of a fall, together with a written prescription that explains the need for someone to stay dwelling in their house. Medicaid provides a complete list of waivers related to the elderly that we suggest that you review. Additionally, contact your Tampa or Florida Area Agency on Aging (AAA) to investigate Medicaid Waivers and financial options for long term care.

Question 11

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

Consumer Affairs urges that an owner that is original buy a lifetime guarantee to give buyers peace of mind about leaks. Also, ask if the lifetime warranty is extended to other owners too. For most Florida house installments, this will probably be contained for a set amount of years.

Question 12

12) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Florida?

In case your handicap was due to a work or vehicle accident, check with the correct insurance carrier to determine if house modifications resulting from your FL impairment are insured. Claims that contain Tampa house alterations are admissible in insurance resolutions. Someone qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in a job that was covered by Social Security and have a medical condition that meets their definition of disability. Benefits may be insured in the event you are injured or on disability. Since SSI is a needs-based program as well as an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, eligibility for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person with a disability to achieve an occupational goal. The money that is set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that leads to an occupational goal and can be utilized to cover house alterations through an SSI savings strategy. If you are a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual plans that might assist you to deflect some of the price. Contact the form 26-4555 to apply for a SAH or SHA grant. For information on all VA benefits in Florida call 1 800 827 1000.
