June 6th is recognized as Visually Impaired People Day, and it’s an important reminder of how eye health fits into your Medicare coverage.
Original Medicare focuses on medical needs, so it typically covers eye care only when it relates to diagnosing or treating medical conditions. Routine vision exams aren’t included. Medicare Advantage plans, however, often offer coverage for routine eye exams and additional vision benefits.
We’ve put together a simple overview to help you understand how these two options compare when it comes to vision care.
