Does Medicare cover LASIK eye surgery?

Answered by 4 licensed agents

No, it does not cover elective medical procedures, and LASIK is not medically necessary. There are corrective surgeries that can be done after a medically necessary procedure, like Cataracts and Glaucoma, but other than that, Original Medicare does not cover vision products or elective surgeries.

No, Medicare doesn’t cover LASIK. It’s considered an elective procedure, not medically necessary, so Original Medicare and most Medicare Advantage plans won’t pay for it.

Generally no. LASIK to just to get rid of glasses is not covered. LASIK used to treat a medical eye condition may be covered if it is medically necessary.

For medically needed surgery only. Medicare does not cover elective or cosmetic procedures. Certain eye exams and conditions of the eye are covered by Medicare.
