June 6th is Visually Impaired People Day, and it’s an important reminder of how critical vision care is as we age. Our team at Beaudry Hometown Insurance is here to help you understand how Medicare handles eye health.
Original Medicare focuses on medical needs, so it typically covers exams and treatments related to eye diseases or injuries. Routine vision care, like standard eye exams or glasses, usually isn’t included. However, many Medicare Advantage plans do offer routine vision benefits along with additional coverage options.
We’ve put together a simple breakdown comparing what Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans cover when it comes to vision care.
If you’d like help reviewing your current Medicare coverage, our team is always happy to walk through your options and make sure your plan fits your needs.
