Chapter 4: Medical Benefi ts Chart (what is covered Medical and what Benefi you ts Chart pay)<br />
Services that are covered for you<br />
Vision care<br />
Covered services include:<br />
• Outpatient physician services for the diagnosis and treatment of<br />
diseases and injuries of the eye, including treatment for age-related<br />
macular degeneration. Original Medicare doesn’t cover routine eye<br />
exams (eye refractions) for eyeglasses/contacts.<br />
• For people who are at high risk of glaucoma, such as people with<br />
a family history of glaucoma, people with diabetes, and African-<br />
Americans who are age 50 and older: glaucoma screening once per<br />
year.<br />
• One pair of eyeglasses or contact lenses after each cataract surgery<br />
that includes insertion of an intraocular lens. (If you have two<br />
separate cataract operations, you cannot reserve the benefi t after the<br />
fi rst surgery and purchase two eyeglasses after the second surgery.)<br />
Corrective lenses/frames (and replacements) needed after a cataract<br />
removal without a lens implant.<br />
Covered supplemental services include:<br />
• One pair of eyeglasses or contact lenses per year. Eyewear and contact<br />
lenses are from a limited Davis Vision Selection.<br />
• One routine vision exam per year<br />
