Cataract Surgery Cost

Posts Tagged ‘about’

My mother will be 65 in August and will be filling out the paperwork three months before that. She has cataracts, and will need surgery. She is having some difficulty getting scheduled with the Dr. she is seeing now, so it is likely she will have to change doctors and have the surgery after she becomes elligible for medicare.

My questions:

Does medicare cover preexisting conditions, and if not, could this be an exception b/c she might have to wait to have the surgery anyway?

Also, what % does Medicare typically cover? She will be purchasing supplemental insurance, so can anyone provide some info or advice about that.

Thanks.
D S – She lives in Louisiana, thanks.

My dog is 12 years old. She has cataracts in both eyes, so we’re going to get the surgery to get rid of them. I don’t think they’re too far advanced yet, but we’re not going to let them get very far.

-Do we have to go to a dog ophthalmologist? [this is what I'm assuming, but I want to be certain]

-Her age won’t interfere with it, will it?

-How much does it cost? *

-What exactly do they do?

-How quick is recovery? What do we have to do until she’s finished recovering?

*The cost doesn’t matter, we’re willing to pay anything for her. I just want to get an idea of what we can expect.

I apologize if any of these seem dumb.

Do they pay for glasses each year or is it a one time thing?
