Will my medical insurance cover the cost of cataract surgery?
Yes. Cataract surgery is a medically necessary surgery which
means that it is a covered benefit of most medical insurances,
PPOs, Medicare, Medi-Cal, and other plans. The cost is very
moderate and the out-of-pocket expense for most patients is
typically a few hundred dollars or less. For those patients with
Medicare, the fees for basic cataract surgery are fixed by the
federal government for all doctors. I focus my efforts on patient
care and surgery, but my office staff is glad to answer any
insurance related or financing questions.
Cataract surgery is one of the most important surgeries that
you will undergo in your lifetime, and it’s the most rewarding
since it can restore your eyesight. Because costs for cataract surgery tend to be very uniform from doctor to doctor (due to
insurance regulations and federal Medicare laws), you can treat
yourself to the very best surgery. When it comes to your eyes,
your focus should be on the highest quality surgery available.
