Frequently Asked Questions

Does Medicare cover eye exams for glasses?

Original Medicare does not cover routine eye exams for glasses. However, many Medicare Advantage plans do include comprehensive vision care. We can help you explore options that include these benefits.

Are my child's eye exams and glasses covered by Medicaid?

Yes, children under 21 have comprehensive coverage under the EPSDT benefit, which includes eye exams, eyeglasses, and medically necessary contact lenses.

Can I have both Medicaid and a separate vision plan?

Usually no, but we can review your current coverage and help you maximize your existing Medicaid benefits to ensure your family's vision needs are fully met.

What if I need glasses after cataract surgery?

Medicare Part B covers one pair of eyeglasses with standard frames (or one set of contact lenses) after cataract surgery that implants an intraocular lens.

How do I find an eye doctor who accepts my insurance?

We're here to help! Reach out to us and we can provide an updated network of accepted providers across Louisiana and Mississippi.

When should I start looking at vision coverage for Medicare?

We highly recommend beginning your research 3 to 6 months before your 65th birthday. This ensures you have plenty of time to find the right coverage without rushing.
