Nor your eyes for some reason either.

Nor your eyes for some reason either.
- Wowfunhappy 1y agoEvery health care plan I've had (US, New York specifically) has covered optometry, is that unusual?
- adastra22 1y agoYes, in the US at least.
- lttlrck 1y agoSame for me. It's always an add-on but same provider and policy. This has been true with multiple providers on the east and west coast.
- adastra22 1y agoYes, but the point is it is an add-on. Administratively (and in terms of deductible, etc.) it is different from the medical plan.
- Broken_Hippo 1y agoThat line is Really fuzzy. They don't generally cover normal vision needs. Your regular glasses and/or contacts aren't covered. Eye injury or cancer, though? Usually covered. I honestly can't recall anyone getting denied for a possible scratch on the eye, either here in Norway or the US (Am from the US). Expenses for eye issues with MS or Diabetes? Usually covered. In these cases, you often go to a specialist MD instead of the normal eye doctor (if you see an MD at all). More is generally covered for eyes than teeth - if teeth were covered like eyes, it would be an improvement. A lot of acute care and infections and stuff would be covered.
- Wowfunhappy 1y agoAs a glasses wearer, not covering glasses feels reasonable to me, although I can't quite put my finger on why. I guess I see glasses at least partially as a fashion accessory--a necessary one for sure, but then so are shoes, and I don't expect those to be covered by insurance.
