Dental Coverage
Medicare Part B doesn't cover most dental care, dental procedures, or supplies, like cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions, dentures, dental plates, or other dental devices. Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) will pay for certain dental services that you get when you're in a hospital. Part A can pay for inpatient hospital care if you need to have emergency or complicated dental procedures, even though the dental care isn't covered.
Vision Coverage
Medicare Part B covers some vision care, but not routine vision exams. You are not covered for vision correction such as eyeglasses or contact lenses under Medicare Part B unless you need vision correction after cataract surgery. Medicare Part B also does not cover eye refractions.
Hearing Aid Coverage
Medicare doesn't cover hearing aids or exams for fitting hearing aids. You pay 100% for hearing aids and exams.
Just because there is no Medicare dental and vision coverage doesn’t mean you have to go without!
