Medicare Advantage Hearing and Vision Benefits
Take Advantage of Vision and Hearing Coverage
When seniors face difficulties with hearing and vision, they can feel socially isolated and depressed. Original Medicare doesn’t cover hearing aids, eye exams or most eyeglasses and contact lenses. Seniors must look elsewhere for help paying for these products and services. Fortunately, many Medicare Advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing.
Medicare Advantage plans with hearing aid benefit
Hearing aids can be pricey. When weighing healthcare options, seniors might consider Medicare Advantage affordable plans that cover comprehensive hearing care. These plans may offer additional hearing benefits too, such as exams and hearing aid fittings at no cost.
Plans with comprehensive hearing coverage may offer members a wide selection of hearing aids from several different manufacturers. Members may also receive access to audiologists to help them choose the best hearing aid for their comfort.
Along with the devices themselves, some Medicare Advantage plans offer a supply of batteries as well as manufacturer’s warranties to cover loss, damage or repair.* Qualified applicants can apply for interest-free financing.
Medicare Advantage vision coverage and benefits
Benefits usually include routine eye exams and reimbursement toward the cost of eyeglasses and/or contact lenses. Seniors can easily find optometrists and providers who accept Medicare Advantage. Medical patients who are required to wear contact lenses due to medical conditions may receive the lenses at no cost.
Diabetes can lead to eye-related illnesses such as diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Seniors with diabetes may want to consider a Medicare Advantage plan for diabetics because it will include prevention education and follow-up services for vision and hearing.
Medicare Advantage plans with hearing and vision coverage can help members close important gaps in care left by Original Medicare (Parts A and B). With these valuable benefits, seniors who experience difficulties with hearing and eyesight can be diagnosed and treated – and get back to enjoying life’s adventures.
