Frequently Asked Questions


1) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Alaska?

Aetna doesn't cover walk-in tubs under their plans that are traditional in Alaska. They usually follow Medicare's standards for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the bathroom. If the member is bed- confined or room - confined some DMEs are considered necessary, rather than a convenience. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is vital for day-to-day activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living action and considered crucial, Aetna lists bathroom items that 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 tub.

Following that, the floor drain shut and ensure that the anti-scald device has been preset before utilizing the tub. Your bath is prepared, once the bathtub fills to the desired depth. If you're planning on using jets, make sure to get familiar with the operating instructions to judge which speed works best for your needs.

Appropriate installation and initial testing should offer you a leakproof experience, however there are events where they experienced outflows that customers report. Under suitable conditions, the door seal should compress making it totally leak proof. Some units contain another drain below the entrance door to help prevent leaks if the door does leak. Ask if this feature is comprised. We highly advise that you just get a lifetime guarantee, as it covers the door in the instance of a flow along with the seal. Many people replace the door seal on a walk-in bath themselves. In addition, it is vital that you take good care of the walk-in bath door when the bath is not in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping the door seal and door jamb down after every use can maintain the integrity of the water seal. Follow the maintenance as well as care directions. Additionally, any small collection of debris or soil on the door seal or where the seal comes in touch with all the door jamb can result in a modest leak through the door seal consistently wipe down the door seal.

Most of the walk-in tubs available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity.
