Question 1

1) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems employ a gravity only drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Normally, the drainage system in a walk-in bathtub is attached to the normal bathtub drain, which is threaded into a flat pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed using a foam washer or putty under its flange. Comparing double drain choices to rapid drain options is significant when considering that most walk in tubs take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which demands that the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some features may cost you more, therefore it's almost always wise to inquire. Eventually, get to know the difference between frameless tubs since frameless baths tend to empty faster than framed tubs, because they don't change the drain height of your existing tub and framed tubs. Framed baths are built on a steel framework and also the bottom of the bathtub is hung off the ground. Frameless baths are designed with an extra-strength mold that doesn't necessitate a steel framework and the underside of the bath is not hung in the air.

Question 2

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

Yes. A walk in bathtub is not normally shorter than an average bath tub, which includes about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some producers say that you simply use the exact same amount of water as a shower that is regular if a standard shower is 7 minutes and also you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Many 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 accommodates at least 50 gallons, even though some bathtubs will function efficiently if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 3

3) Are there any kits available for installing my own walk-in tub?

Yes, producers do offer do-it-yourself installations of a bathroom conversion kit. Depending on whether you possess the right tools and technical acquaintance with the instruments, it's possible. Nonetheless, lots of times, someone believes it is going to be cheap to purchase all the tools that are proper. These tools could be costly, so be sure you compare the expense of buying all the tools as well as the price of your time learning the best way to install the kit with the expense of a professional setup. Then the instructions might seem fairly simple, in case you are someone who does a large amount of home improvements. Only make sure they test the unit in line with the manufacturer's instructions and that the unit you bought did not get harmed during transportation.

Question 4

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

Aetna doesn't cover walk in tubs under their conventional plans in Colorado. Aetna does not cover walk-in bathtubs under their HMO and health network plans either. They normally follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the restroom. In the event the member is bed- confined or room - confined some DMEs are considered medically necessary, rather than a convenience. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's vital for daily activities and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered crucial and is considered a daily living action, toilet 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 bathtub are listed by Aetna.
