Will someone that has this measure the height? It says 5”but some are saying it’s 3”. I am only 5’2” so I think 5” might be too high for hip surgery.

First off, I have a low toilet bowl ... low in that it is "normal". My seat riser is 4.5 inches and measures 19 inches from floor to top of the seat. I am 5'1" and these work perfectly for me. I got them due to knee replacement surgery. I have NO trouble getting on and off these are they are the perfect height for me. Good luck!! BTW - knee replacement surgery is HARDER on you than hip surgery and the pain lasts longer. Hope all is well with you.

Can this be billed to Medicare ?

depends upon your individual plan

Description says wide seat. But what is the size of the bowl itself?

Are you talking about the inside width of the toilet seat? If so, mine is approximately 7 to 8 inches wide.

what is the inside bowl measurement? i need one one that isn't too wide.

I'm currently using the dark blue seat, the inside measurement is approximately 7 to 8 inches wide. Although, I have seats in white and gray both are stored away and I don't have ready access to measure them. I'm very aware most times asking the seller's for any assistance is useless. Hope this is helpful for you. Thanks, Jacqueline
