Is the cost of high tech lenses covered by Medicare and/or other insurance?
If you have vision loss due to cataracts, the good news is that the cost of these high tech lenses and the associated services are partially covered by Medicare and private medical insurance. The patient is responsible for payment of that portion which exceeds the charge of the standard single focus IOL. If you do not have a cataract, most insurance companies will not provide coverage. They usually consider this a cosmetic rather than a medical necessity. The patient then would be responsible for payment of the surgery, lens implant and surgery center fees. Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover can be used, and we also offer several affordable financing plans, including interest-free, for those wanting to finance the procedure.
