I think yes - as long as it isn’t a lens or lens enhancement they wouldn’t pay for to begin with (e.g. Toric lens).

But I never cease to be surprised at what Medicare won’t pay for. Your doc should know.

Medicare completely covered the cost of the exchange for me in February. It also covered the lens because it was a monofocal.
