[nfbwatlk] petition to allow medicare to pay forlow-visiondevices

[Betty Watson]

I  am not sure if medic-aid pays anything but last year I  had to get new
prosthetics for both eyes and neither my insurance or medicare paid
anything. Thankfully they accepted monthly payments. I  am still paying for
the eyes I  got a  year ago in January I  think it was. I  do think that if
anyone is needing new eyes they probably should persue help from some where
such as the Lions or other community group. I  wish I  had thought about
that when I  started with my new eyes.

I'm not sure but it seems to me that in most things, Medicare 
covers about 80%.  So that would leave the other 20% for either 
insurance or the person's own money to pay.     Debby
