Medicaid cover laser eye surgery?


i was wondering if anyone knew if medicaid covered eye surgery? my husband plans on getting a job where it'd be best if he didnt have to wear his glasses and he doesnt like contacts.

Medicaid and medicare cover medically necessary surgical proceedures and Lasik is considered to be elective surgery, so, unfortunately they do not cover it. I hope that this helps!
O^O

no way any insurance covers that - it elective surgery - you have to pay it all yourself

Yes it does. My mom just had it done and she is on medicaid.

If you call the insurance provider that you're on.. Like "healthease" They tell you what they cover. If your husbands eyes are a certain prescription I'm pretty sure they do cover it.

is he on medicaid? if so it depends on the type of job he gets because medicaid will look into that and he might have to pay sum small portion but mostly it should cover it...

No, Medicaid will not cover Lasik eye surgery. Why should the government pay for an elective surgery? Certain laser surgeries may be covered, but only for medical purposes. Not to correct your vision.

no way. no how. no where.

I hope to god not. Why should the taxpayers have to pay for elective surgery? Hopefully your husband will get a good enough job that you will no longer qualify for medicaid and this will be a mute question.
