Medicare does not typically cover the cost of a walk-in shower — it only covers costs for what it considers “durable medical equipment.” This term includes things like wheelchairs, hospital beds and catheters.
With that being said, you may be able to get a reimbursement from Medicare after you pay for your walk-in shower and its installation. This involves submitting a claim to Medicare proving that it was a medical necessity.
Depending on the state you live in, a Medicare Advantage Plan may also help you cover the costs of your new walk-in shower.
