Does medicade cover eye exams and glasses?

Question

i need my eyes checked and i'm sure i need glasses. i have medicade. is this even possible?

Answer 1

Yes for all states. The only problem is that the frames that they cover are not the greatest but if you want to see better, see an Ophthalmologist.

Answer 2

Yes. They'll cover basic glasses and an exam but they won't cover any upgrades to the frame and lenses, no contacts and it takes about 1 month to get the glasses back. Your best bet is paying out of pocket to get your glasses in sooner.

Answer 3

Medicaid typically covers the exam and has specified the type of frame a person can get at the store. I know in Indiana they do not pay for anything extra like transitions or contacts, but it covers a pair of glasses as long as you are eligible and it has been over 1 year for those 18 and under and 2 years for those 18 and over.

Answer 4

In some  states it does, depending on your age and if you are a student or not, stuff like that. In CA they do.
