Does medicade cover colored contacts?

Answer 1

You get one pair of eyeglasses per year. No contact lenses unless you've had cataract surgery.

Some states only allow one pair of glasses every 4 years though and one state allows one pair of glasses during your life time.

No states pay for any contacts except post cataract surgery and a few pay for a couple other specified conditions that require contacts.

What state are you in and I'll check and see what your state allows.

Answer 2

My bro-in-law.. severe diabetic, on disability and had to have a retina reattached.. the eye surgeon prescribed brown contact lenses.. something about reducing stress/glare on the other retina. MediCal (California's version of medicade) covered it.

But that eye doc had to write a letter, more like a novel to get them covered, as medically necessary.

So unless you have a dayum good reason.......... NO

Answer 3

No. the in reality way any authorities insurances will hide contact lenses is once you've your easily lens taken out of your eye (aphakic) the former variety of cataract surgical treatment. i don't think of that Medicaid may even hide that, in reality Medicare. if you're questioning about colored contact lenses, you ought to the contact your eye dr., because truly some the cases, there are specials on them with some variety of rebate. they are frequently lifelike.

Answer 4

No, that is considered cosmetic and will not be covered
