With Visually Impaired People Day recognized on June 6, we’re taking a moment to highlight how Medicare approaches vision care.
Original Medicare focuses on medical needs, so coverage usually applies to diagnosing or treating eye-related conditions — not routine vision checkups. Medicare Advantage plans, on the other hand, often include benefits like routine eye exams and other vision services.
We put together a quick overview to help you understand the difference and know what to expect from your coverage.
If you’d like help reviewing how your current Medicare plan handles vision care, our team at The Enrollment Center is always here to support you. Give us a call or send us a message anytime.
