Will my insurance medical insurance cover the cost of astigmatism treatment?
No. Because the purpose of the astigmatism treatment is to
reduce or eliminate the patient’s dependence on glasses it is
considered a cosmetic surgery. Medicare and most insurance
plans therefore do not pay for this procedure.
If you are choosing a premium lens implant, the cost of any
procedures to correct astigmatism or other focusing errors at
the time of surgery or shortly thereafter is fully included at no
extra cost. If you are only selecting the standard lens implant,
the cost of the astigmatism correction is additional. |
