- Verify the license or registration on the state lookup and match the name on the estimate.
- Ask for a certificate of general liability insurance and workers' comp, sent directly from the insurer.
- Get a written, line-item estimate: demo, plumbing, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, permit.

Does Medicare pay for a walk-in tub?
Original Medicare generally does not cover walk-in tubs because they are not considered durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans, state Medicaid waiver programs and VA home-modification grants (HISA, SAH) can help; a doctor's note may also make part of the cost a deductible medical expense.
How long does it take to fill and drain?
Filling usually takes 6 to 10 minutes depending on your faucet flow and water pressure. Standard drains take a few minutes; fast-drain pumps cut that to about 2 minutes.
Will my water heater be big enough?
Walk-in tubs hold roughly 50 to 80 gallons. A 40-gallon tank may not deliver a full warm fill, so installers often recommend a 50-gallon or larger tank, an inline heater or a tankless unit.
