Learn the costs of a prosthetic eye

Does insurance cover the cost of a prosthetic eye? Most insurance policies such as PPO, HMO, EPO, and POS cover the cost of an ocular prosthesis, including MediCal, Medicare and most private insurance policies. Coverage for a prosthetic eye is not covered under a vision policy. An artificial eye is considered durable medical equipment. Check with your insurance policy that you have Durable Medical Equipment (DME) coverage.
