Medicare typically covers a portion of cataract surgery costs, including the surgeon's fees, facility fees, and some pre- and post-operative care. The exact amount Medicare pays can vary based on factors such as the type of Medicare plan you have, whether you have supplemental insurance, and any additional services or tests needed. It's important to check with Medicare and your healthcare provider to understand your specific coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses you may incur.
