Medicare Coverage for Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is an out-patient procedure, covered under Medicare Part B. Medicare will cover 80 percent of the cost of the procedure; your coinsurance may cover part or all of the remaining cost of basic cataract surgery. You will be responsible for any co-pay and deductible as determined by your insurance.
A standard, single-focus lens implant will generally be covered by insurance. If you choose a presbyopic lens implant (for fuller range vision after surgery), or an astigmatism-correcting lens implant (which corrects the out-of-round condition of your eye), you will be responsible for the additional cost associated with the vision improvement of these refractive implants.
PRIVATE MEDICAL INSURANCE & CATARACT SURGERY
If you have private insurance, we expect that your health care service plan will pay for cataract surgery, less any deductible or co-pay requirements. Your insurance will cover a traditional monofocal lens implant. If you choose a presbyopic lens implant (for fuller range vision after surgery), or an astigmatism-correcting lens implant (which corrects the out-of-round condition of your eye), you will be responsible for the additional cost associated with the vision improvement of these refractive lens implants.
