People assume that once they have enrolled in Original Medicare, they have everything they need covered. That assumption couldn’t be further from the truth. Medicare Parts A and B leave out many crucial aspects of health care, including dental and vision care. Fortunately, there are supplementary plans that cover these. Studies have proven that dental and visual require more care and attention as one gets older. Purchasing a plan that covers these senses is the preferred route for many who are already enrolled in at least one form of Medicare, since the cost of routine checkups and more serious treatments can add up over time.
