With June 6th recognized as Visually Impaired People Day, now is a good time to discuss how Medicare approaches vision care.

Original Medicare (also known as Medicare Parts A and B) is designed primarily as medical insurance. That means coverage typically applies to the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions affecting the eyes, rather than to routine vision care. However, Medicare Advantage plans usually do include coverage for routine eye exams.

Swipe for a brief overview of what Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans cover when it comes to vision care and eye health.

With National Senior Fraud Awareness Day on May 15th, we wanted to reach out to go over several common scams making the rounds so you can quickly identify potential scam messages.

✅ Tech Support Scams - Fraudsters impersonate reputable tech support representatives and claim there is a problem with your device. They seek remote access or payment to "fix" issues that don't exist.

✅ Government or Medicare Impersonation - Scammers pose as representatives from Medicare, the Social Security Administration, or other agencies to collect personal information or payments. Real agencies do not solicit such data by unsolicited calls, texts, or emails.

✅ Family Imposter Scams - Criminals pretend to be a loved one in distress and pressure you to send money immediately.

✅ Sweepstakes, Lottery, and Prize Scams - You are told that you have won money but must pay fees to collect your "winnings."

✅ Romance or Investment Scams - Scammers build emotional trust online, then exploit it for financial gain.
