The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) has released a timely
exploration of the costs facing people with Medicare for
dental, hearing, and vision services and what coverage options they may
have. Troublingly, their options are limited and their costs are
high—beneficiaries in both traditional Medicare and in Medicare Advantage
(MA) have significant out-of-pocket costs and can face barriers to
getting the care they need.
While Medicare provides vital coverage for older adults and people with
disabilities, there are major gaps in coverage that can have serious
repercussions for beneficiaries. For the most part, traditional Medicare
does not cover dental, hearing, or vision services. While MA plans may
include some limited coverage for these services, it commonly comes with
annual coverage limits or frequency restrictions.
