Does Medicare Cover Walk-in Tubs?

Medicare does not cover walk-in tubs because they are not considered Durable Medical Equipment (DME). Walk-in tubs are a “convenience” rather than a “medical necessity.” Plus, anyone can use these special tubs, so they are not just for Medicare beneficiaries or adults with special needs.
