Can Medicare or Canada's public health system pay for a walk-in tub?
Answer:
Generally, no. Original Medicare in the United States and provincial health insurance plans in Canada typically do not cover walk-in tubs because they are considered home modifications rather than medically necessary equipment. However, some Medicare Advantage plans, provincial grant programs, tax credits, veterans' benefits, and accessibility assistance programs may help offset part of the cost.
Eligibility varies by location and program.
