Do cataracts need to be "ripe" before Medicare will pay for surgery??
Question: I know that most doctors say that you no longer need to wait until cataracts are ripe before having surgery, but does Medicare have any guidelines as to when they will pay for the surgery?
Answers: Medicare will pay for your surgery when your vision is not correctible beyond 20/50 in a normally lit room. If your vision in bright lights is 20/50 or worse, than it is also covered. (at 80%)
Your Dr. will be able to test your vision in both scenarios.
If a doctor says you need surgery for cataracts... then Medicare will pay PART of the cost and you Part F will pay the rest.
