isn't. Generally speaking, most medical insurance does not cover home modifications like a walk in shower. In Virginia, where I live there is a tax credit that will help offset some of the cost of this type of home modification. Additionally, the Veteran's Administration has programs that will pay for home modifications like a walk in shower. There are also civic and church groups as well as organizations like Rebuilding Together that often have funding available. Another lower cost alternative to a walk in shower would be to cut out the tub wall and use a product like the Safeway Safety Step. (at www.safewaysafetystep.com)
