Medicare

Approximately 80% of the U.S. low vision population is over age 65.¹ Consequently, Medicare coverage policies have a large impact on the types and levels of low vision rehabilitation services provided by the health care system and on the choice of health care professionals who provide those services. Medicare policies relevant to low vision rehabilitation have undergone significant revisions over the past several years and are expected to evolve with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 5-year Medicare Low Vision Rehabilitation Demonstration Project.
