Durable medical equipment does not include physical changes to a house, just medical gear and supplies which are accustomed to help a patient in and out of bed or a chair, or make use of a shower or bath safer and easier. Consumer Affairs implies that you may wish to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility safety reasons) a walk-in bathtub is warranted to ascertain if the equipment can be somewhat compensated. More often than not, it won't be covered by them. However, if you're eligible for Medicaid, the system in your state may give you some financial assistance for a walk in tub. You may qualify for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for specific specialized medical equipment and accessibility adjustments.
