Does Insurance or Medicare Cover Toilet Seats?
Unfortunately, most toilet seats modifications are considered personal convenience items and are not covered by Medicare. Medical equipment such as bed pans or commodes is covered by the insurance since it is medically necessary. These items are crucial to improving a person’s health and daily hygiene so they should be covered. Even if Medicare does not pay for the costs, your personal private insurance might have different guidelines as long as they are deemed medically necessary but you need to provide proof from a physician.
