With Visually Impaired People Day coming up on June 6, we’re taking a moment to highlight how Medicare handles vision care and what that means for your eye health.
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) focuses on medical needs, so coverage typically applies to diagnosing and treating eye-related medical conditions. Routine eye exams, glasses, and vision checks usually aren’t included. Many Medicare Advantage plans, however, do offer routine vision benefits.
Our team at Van Handel Insurance Agency put together a simple overview to help you understand the differences and know what to expect from your coverage.
If you’d ever like to review how your Medicare plan addresses vision care—or explore your options—we’re always here to help.
