Question 1

Yes, makers do offer do it yourself installations of a bathroom conversion kit. Depending on whether you have the right tools and specialized familiarity with the instruments, it is not impossible. Nevertheless, many times, someone believes it's going to be cheap to buy all the appropriate tools. These tools could be costly, so be sure you compare the expense of purchasing all the tools and also the expense of your time learning how exactly to install the kit with all the expense of a professional setup. In case you are someone who does a lot of home improvements, then the directions may seem pretty simple. Just make certain they analyze the unit according to the Maker 's directions and the unit you bought did not get damaged during transportation.

Question 2

2) Why are these tubs so much more expensive than normal tubs?

Mainly you're paying for a list of safety features that are unavailable on a regular bath. These safety features are built into walk-in baths for persons with limited mobility to decrease the likelihood of falling down. Version wall heights are generally 37 to 47 inches tall and include a built-in shower seat, textured flooring, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, and also a water-tight door. An important aspect of walk in tubs is that there's a low step threshold to allow a user to easily enter into the bathtub unconcerned regarding the typical high wall of a normal tub. The walk-in bathtubs also usually include improved drain alternatives, jet treatment, and a cleaning function. Additionally, one of the reasons why the price changes among the walk in baths is that the baths are custom-made depending on a person's needs rather than factory copied, in order to find a tub that is specially made for somebody who needs wheelchair access, a tub that fits a larger individual, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 3

Should you live in a Joliet retirement community, installing a walk-in bath may raise the value of your own home. Otherwise, it likely won't raise the value of your dwelling. Since changes to your toilet do not generally increase the value of your house, cost can qualify for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Illinois if the primary purpose of the enhancements would be to accommodate a residence to the handicap of the citizen, their spouse or dependent living there.

Question 5

5) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Illinois?

Medicare will not cover walk in bathtub gear and installation prices in Illinois, because they are house adjustments, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment will not include physical changes to a house, just medical gear and materials which are used to help a patient in and out of a seat or bed, or make use of a shower or tub easier and safer. Consumer Affairs implies that you may wish to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility security reasons) a walk in bath is justified to ascertain if the gear could be somewhat compensated. More times than not, they will not cover it. However, if you are eligible for Medicaid, the system in your state may offer you some financial assistance for a walk-in bath. You may be eligible for a House and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for certain specialized medical equipment and availability adjustments. In the event you are a recipient of Medicare and Medicaid, you must also think about the Double-Eligible Special Needs Strategy. This strategy is part of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. Medicaid offers an entire record of waivers relevant to the elderly that we suggest that you review.
