In case the member is bed- room or confined - some DMEs are considered necessary, as opposed to a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is essential for day-to-day tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living activity and considered crucial, toilet items which are considered medically necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated or unable to transfer to and from a bathtub are listed by Aetna.

Most of the walk-in tubs on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity.
