Cataract Surgery Cost

Posts Tagged ‘Medicare’

My wife is disabled & has medicare part 1 & 2.
She is 57 years old & needs glasses & cataract surgery .
I have tryed looking the problem up because of her disability & the medicare site seems to contradict its self with no straight simple answers .
So, my question is would she qualify for cataract surgery & glasses ?
If so, what on-line site would i need to look at for instructions ?
Thank You.

My mother was told she needs cataract surgery. She has regular Medicare, but not Medicare B. Only Medicare B covers it.

Is she ok waiting until she can enroll in open enrollment in January?

www.MyMedigapReport.com Helps you understand how Medicare covers cataract surgery. Having the proper Medigap insurance or Medicare Advantage Plan can save you money.

hospital where the out patient surgery was performed bill medicare for 16,000 dollars. I was there for a total of 2 hours. Is this not totally outrageous? Is this a normal fee?

I have heard that they only pay for it if you are diabetic?

Just a few things that are NOT covered:

# dental care;

# hearing aids or the examinations for prescribing or fitting hearing aids (except for implants to treat severe hearing loss in some cases);

# long-term care, including personal care, such as help with bathing, toileting and dressing (unless homebound and receiving skilled care) and nursing home care (except in a skilled nursing facility if eligible);

# some preventive care, including most routine physical examinations and tests, immunizations, and routine foot care and eye care;

# vision (eye) care, including eyeglasses (except when following cataract surgery) and examinations for prescribing or fitting eyeglasses.
