Question 5

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

Aetna doesn't insure walkin tubs under their plans that are traditional in Utah. Aetna doesn't cover walk in baths under their HMO and health network plans either. They typically follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the bathroom. If the member is bed- confined or room - some DMEs are considered medically necessary, rather than a convenience. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is essential for day-to-day tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered essential and is considered a daily living action, Aetna lists bathroom items that are incapable to transfer to and from a bathtub or considered medically necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated.

Most of all, you didn't get one AND and if you needed a license your house suffers from damage from the installed walkin tub, your losses may not be covered by your homeowner's insurance. If you plan on ever selling your Orem dwelling, there are tons of buyer beware messages out there that will direct prospective buyers from your home since it does change homeowner's insurance if there have been any improvements without licenses. Buyers see the licenses and their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in dwellings.

Question 10

10) Are these tubs as easy to clean as normal tubs?

They're easy to clean, but unlike routine baths, it's wise to keep a daily cleaning custom with a walk in bathtub subsequent manufacturer's recommendations and using the products that are appropriate. You wish to really make sure with a walk in bathroom that you remove scum and spots to secure the surface. Get into the habit of wiping down the surfaces that are wet after each use to help avoid the build up scum, which will demand more scrubbing later. Weekly, use cleansers to wash your walkin tub. Products that address your specific water blot and deposits should be considered in addition to any indicators that these products may ruin the finish on your tub. You need to familiarize yourself with the very best cleaning techniques for your kind of tub since tubs are generally either fiberglass or acrylic. Fiberglass can readily dull and is fragile and porous and blot. Don't use harsh abrasive products on fiberglass. Acrylic is non-porous and simple to wash. Additionally, if the current weather allows, air the room out in order that it doesn't stay humid. Some manufacturers recommend that you open your bathroom window for an hour each day to let moisture escape.

Question 11

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

Mostly 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 individuals with limited mobility to lower the possibility of falling down. Model wall heights are normally 37 to 47 inches tall and contain a built in shower seat, textured flooring, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, along with a watertight door. A crucial feature of walk in baths is that there is a low step threshold to allow a user to readily enter into the bathtub unconcerned regarding the typical high wall of a regular tub. The walk-in tubs also generally contain jet therapy a cleaning function, and improved drain alternatives. Moreover, one of the reasons why the price changes among the walk-in baths is that the baths are custom made depending on an individual 's needs rather than factory copied, so you can discover a bathtub that is specially made for someone who desires wheelchair accessibility, a tub that fits a larger individual, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 12

12) 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 if a typical shower is 7 minutes that you simply use exactly the same quantity of water as a regular shower and you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Many of the walk in baths on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In reality, many manufacturers recommend that you've got a hot water tank that accommodates at least 50 gallons, although some tubs will function effectively if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.
