Does Medicare Cover Vision?
Medicare Part B covers annual eye exams for diabetics and glaucoma screening for high-risk individuals, but it does not cover routine eye exams, glasses, or contact lenses. Many Medicare Advantage plans in Colorado include vision benefits.
What Colorado beneficiaries should know
Plan availability and coverage details vary by county in Colorado. Urban areas like Denver and Colorado Springs typically have more plan options than rural counties. A licensed Medicare agent can look up plans specific to your ZIP code and help you understand what's covered.
