My mother needs a walk-in bathtub for safety as she is prone to falls and broke her arm recently. She has Medicare Part B coverage and wonders if it covers the cost of a walk-in bathtub.

Can't say whether it covers the cost or not, but surely you can prevent further accidents by having a walk in bath installed in your home from http://www.nationwide-mobility.co.uk.

Prevention is always better than cure. Also, health & safety should always be given more priority compared to the cost & money.

Medicare does not like to cover the costs for these type of procedures.

Medicare will often tell you that there are cheaper ways to take care of apnea. Keep on them, they will eventually cave.
