Does medicade cover colored contacts?



Answers:

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

But that eye doc have to write a letter, more approaching a novel to take them covered, as medically necessary.

So unless you own a dayum good rationale.. NO
No, that is considered cosmetic and will not be covered
You get one couple of eyeglasses per year. No contact lenses unless you've had cataract surgery.

Some states with the sole purpose allow one pair of eyeglasses every 4 years though and one state allows one pair of eyeglasses during your life time.

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

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