We will begin taking Medicare and MediCAL soon!

Morgan Hill Eyecare Optometry will begin taking Medicare and MediCAL (California’s version of MedicAID) soon. We hope for final approval in August and expect to start seeing Medicare and MediCAL patients in late August or early September. Morgan Hill Eyecare Optometry will be one of only two optometry practices in Morgan Hill that will accept Medicare/MediCAL.

If you have Medicare or MediCAL, please see approved Medicare/MediCAL offices. Many practices will offer “cash rebates” or “discounts” to entice Medicare/MediCAL patients. These practices are not approved by CMS and do not offer medical exams which is often necessary for the aging population.

Offices approved by CMS must meet quality and technology standards many offices can not match. All CMS offices must be able to screen, detect, and manage diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration and therefore must have equipment such as automated perimeters, retinal cameras, etc.
