Does Medicare Cover Dental And Vision?

 

Regular eye exams and teeth cleanings can help you stay healthy by catching issues and illnesses early, before complications develop.

 

However, Original Medicare doesn’t cover routine dental or vision care. That means if you need a routine teeth cleaning or an eye exam for contacts or glasses, Medicare will not pay for it.

 

Dental And Vision Coverage Options With Anthem

 

If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, you may already have dental and vision coverage. Routine dental, vision, and hearing care are included with the majority of Medicare Advantage plans. These plans also have options to increase your dental and vision coverage.

 

If you have a Medicare Supplement plan, Part D plan, or both, you may want to purchase an Extras package to cover dental and vision care.
