FAQ Friday: Does Medicare cover Cataract surgery?
b'Medicare covers many medically necessary surgical procedures, so as long as the cataract surgery is medically necessary, Medicare will cover it. \\nFor surgeries or procedures, it\'s hard to know the exact costs in advance. This is because no one knows exactly what services you\'ll need. If you need surgery or a procedure, you may be able to estimate how much you\'ll have to pay. You can:\\n1.\\tAsk the doctor, hospital, or facility how much you\'ll have to pay for the surgery and any care afterward.\\n2.\\tFind out if you\'re an inpatient or outpatient because what you pay may be different.\\n3.\\tCheck with any other insurance you may have to see what it will pay. If you belong to a Medicare health plan, contact your plan for more information. Other insurance might include:\\n\\u2022\\tMedicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy\\n\\u2022\\tMedicaid\\n\\u2022\\tCoverage from your or your spouse\'s employer\\n4.\\tLog into MyMedicare.gov, or look at your last "Medicare Summary Notice" (MSN) to see if you\'ve met your deductibles.'
