Does Medicaid cover routine eye exams under state Medicaid programs?
It depends on the state. According to a 2022-23 review of state Medicaid vision-coverage policies, about 12% of adult Medicaid enrollees - roughly 6.5 million people, live in states where routine adult eye exams were not covered. (National Institutes of Health, 2024)
Do Medicaid enrollees often have to pay copays or cost-share for vision care?
Yes. Among states that provide routine vision care under Medicaid, roughly two-thirds require enrollee cost sharing (copays or other out-of-pocket costs) for eye exams or glasses. (Opthomology Times, 2024)
Are Medicaid vision services for children or adolescents covered differently?
Yes. Medicaid policies for children and adolescents differ from those for adults. Under federal Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) requirements, Medicaid-covered infants, children, and adolescents must receive all medically necessary vision services. This includes routine eye exams and vision correction, such as glasses, when clinically indicated. (National Institutes of Health, 2024)
