Under any reasonable definition of disability, needing glasses is a disability. You legit can't do a huge number of jobs without being able to see clearly. And yet, it's the one disability that by definition ISN'T covered by health insurance. Oh no, you need SEPARATE vision insurance for that. Because how dare poor people want to ... Checks notes ... See.

@JessTheUnstill Is that why a lot of eye doctors have dropped Medicaid?
Is that also why vision correction surgeries aren't covered by insurance?!
I hate Amerikkka.

@mast0d0nphan Probably because reimbursement rates are next to nothing. Also, even if they do take insurance, a lot of states have very long timelines between exams and a lot don't cover glasses at all. https://www.nei.nih.gov/research-and-training/research-news/medicaid-vision-coverage-adults-varies-widely-state

And the double whammy. Glasses and eye checkups all fall under that "other" vision insurance.
But if you have something like cataract surgery, and follow up appointments with your optometrist in the same office where you get glasses and checkups, *those* fall under your "regular" health insurance.
Optometrist may take VSP or EyeMed for your yearly check up and frames, but not take your health insurance, for post-op surgery exams.
Ask me how I know!

@josh @Epic_Null Seriously? I didn't know that. Is hearing insurance actually a thing?

@JessTheUnstill @Epic_Null Kind of, but it’s more accurate to describe many of the most common hearing problems as not covered by insurance.
Ask any senior. Hearing aids aren’t covered.
