Most medical insurance plans consider cataract surgery as a covered benefit. Insurance will generally cover 80% of “agreed to charges” and the balance will be paid by the patient after deductibles have been met.

If there is significant blockage of your vision, then a consultation with testing can be performed and results submitted to your insurance carrier for approval of the procedure in advance. Medicare patients need testing for insurance coverage but pre-approval is not done. After the procedure, Medicare reviews the data to determine if the vision was in need of correction and then makes a decision on payment.
