Consumer Affairs suggests that you may want to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility safety reasons) a walk in bathtub is justified to ascertain if the equipment can be somewhat compensated. More times than not, they won't cover it. However, if you are qualified for Medicaid, the system in your state may provide you with some financial assistance for a walk in tub.
