Medicare and other insurers will pay for this exam IF they are done for a medical reason such as a macular check up etc. however St. Lukes has not been coding my refraction exams properly and I have paid for each and every one of them for the past 4 years and they are done approximately every 6 mos. The "refraction" eye exam I get has NOTHING to do with eye-glasses. It is done to check for loss of vision, but I have still have to pay for them.
