Getting eyewear through your Medicare Advantage Plan.
Of all the senses that we have, I find our eyesight to be the most important sense of them all. With our eyesight, we can see beautiful sunsets, fireworks explode in the night sky and so much more. It is for that reason that we should do anything within our means to preserve our eyesight. If getting eyewear through your Medicare Advantage Plan for pennies on the dollar is on your agenda, continue reading to learn more.
Does Medicare cover eyeglasses?
When it pertains to getting articles of eyewear through Original Medicare, what I have and what many of you may have noticed is that the coverage can be quite limited. Medicare will generally only cover a pair of eyeglasses or a set of contact lenses in the event that you opt for cataract surgery. Keep in mind that you will still have to pay 20% for the articles of eyewear and 100% of the cost for an eye exam.
Do Medicare Advantage Plans cover eyeglasses?
Although not guaranteed, it’s possible to get coverage for eyewear and maybe even an eye exam for little to no cost to you. The coverage will ultimately depend on what Medicare Advantage Plan you have but, it’s worth noting that the coverage can be more comprehensive than what Medicare covers. What I love about the vision coverage that Medicare Advantage Plans have to offer is that you can get eye exams with no copay in some instances. Aside from that, you might also be able to get an eye exam without the need for getting a referral. If that sounds good to you, well it gets even better. With the right plan by your side, it’s possible to get coverage for frames, contact lenses, single lenses, bifocal lenses, trifocal lenses and possibly even progressive lenses as well.
Do Medicare Advantage Plans cover designer frames?
For those of you who would like to improve your eyesight while at the same time doing so in style, there is good news. With select plans in various parts of the country, there exists the possibility of getting designer frames at a great price. It isn’t too far fetched to get Gucci, Ray Ban, Armani and various other types of designer frames at a great price. Ultimately, it will come down to what Medicare Advantage Plan you have by your side.
How often do Medicare Advantage Plans cover glasses?
The frequency in which Medicare Advantage Plans will cover eye exams and glasses will vary from plan to plan. In my short time as a sales agent on the field, I have seen varying degrees of coverage for Medicare recipients. Most plans that I represent in my hometown of Laredo, Tx cover eye exams and glasses on a yearly basis. Perhaps the city in which you live in might not offer vision coverage as often. In any case, it’s always best to review your plan options with a licensed sales agent in order to get the option that best suits your needs.
