Will my medicaid cover both the eye exam and the glasses and or contacts, whatever I decide? I haven't been to the eye doctor in years and I never used medicaid for it, last time I went I paid out of pocket since I had some cash.

I would look up your state's Medicaid insurance policy. It could vary from state to state. Or call the number on your insurance card if there is some sort of third party health insurance company for it as a part of the state Medicaid policy. Or, you could ask the eye doctor outlet you're going to to look at it for you and give a summary of your benefits, such as any allowance you might have for lenses and frames. It would be relevant to them since they are the ones who file the claim.
Okay there's a number on my card, I will call them and check it out.
They probably won't cover things like blue light filters. When I went with my company insurance last year, they even had different coverage for the different types of plastic used in frames, with the thinner plastic not being covered. They eye care provider will probably go over this with you when you are looking at frames.
Thanks!
i don't know nothin' bout no glasses but the few times I've called medicaid it's been refreshingly painless, like the people have actually been extremely knowledgeable and happy to help. hope you have the same experience!
So far my medicaid hasn't let me down so thanks
