Cataracts
Improvements to Medicare benefits for persons who have had cataract surgery went into effect on July 1.
According to the Virginia Optometric Association, Medicare as of July 1 pays for most of the professional services provided by a doctor of optometry, following cataract surgery. Such services, primarily eye examination procedures, were not reimbursable in the past.
In addition. Medicare will continue to pay for the cost of eyeglasses or contact lenses prescribed following cataract surgery. Dr. Ernest Schlabach, president of the Virginia Optometric Association, said the new’ Medicare coverage “enables persons who have had cataract surgery to continue to receive eye care from their regular optometrist and be reimbursed by Medicare.”
He added that persons who have had cataract surgery or plan to have it should talk to their optometrist or contact the Association for specific details on Medicare coverage.
