Finding an Eye Doctor Who Accepts Medicaid in Aventura
Searching for an eye doctor near me that accepts Medicaid is often more frustrating than it should be. Plenty of practices list Medicaid on a page somewhere and then tell you, on the phone, that they are not taking new Medicaid patients this year. Others accept it only for children.
We accept it for everyone. Adults, children, routine exams and medical eye problems. There is no separate Medicaid appointment line, no restricted set of days, and no different standard of exam. You see Dr. Teresita Bollar and you get the same comprehensive eye exam described on our eye exam cost page.
We also accept Medicare
If you are on Medicare, or on both Medicare and Medicaid, we can see you as well. Medicare generally covers medical eye care — things like glaucoma monitoring, diabetic eye exams, and cataract evaluation — rather than a routine glasses prescription. If you have a medical eye concern, that distinction usually works in your favour. Our page on diabetic eye exams in Aventura explains what that visit involves.
What Florida Medicaid Covers for Vision
Florida Medicaid is delivered through managed care plans rather than as a single statewide benefit, so the exact details depend on which plan you are enrolled in. Across most Florida Medicaid plans, vision coverage generally includes:
- A yearly eye exam — for members of all ages.
- Eyeglasses — frames and lenses, with plan-set limits.
- Contact lenses — where medically appropriate.
- Eye disease testing and care — including conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.
For members aged 21 and over, plans commonly cover either one set of frames per year or a six-month supply of contact lenses. Frames priced above the plan’s allowance — often around $75 — usually mean paying the difference if you choose a more expensive pair. Some services also require prior authorization before treatment.
Because benefits differ between Florida Medicaid plans, we verify your specific coverage before your exam rather than after it. If something is not covered, we tell you what it costs first, so nothing arrives as a surprise at checkout.
Children have broader coverage than adults
Vision benefits for members under 21 are generally more comprehensive than for adults, and that matters more than most parents realise. Undetected vision problems in childhood affect reading, classroom attention and confidence, and they are usually straightforward to correct when caught early.
If you are booking for a child, our guides to the children’s eye exam and to pediatric eye care cover what happens during the visit and what we look for at different ages. For frames, our guide to kids’ glasses covers choosing a pair that survives daily wear.
What to Bring to Your Appointment
- Your Medicaid or Medicare card — and your managed care plan card if they are separate.
- Photo ID for the adult attending, whether the patient is you or your child.
- Your current glasses or contacts, even if the prescription is old.
- A list of medications, including anything for diabetes or blood pressure, as both show up in the eye.
- Any referral paperwork, if your plan required one.
If you are not sure whether your plan needs a referral, call us before the appointment and we will check for you.
If Something Is Not Covered
Occasionally a plan will not cover a particular service, or a member’s benefit for the year has already been used. When that happens we tell you the cost up front. A comprehensive eye exam is $140 as a self-pay patient, and a contact lens exam is $240. Those are flat prices with no separate refraction fee added at checkout, and the full breakdown is on our eye exam cost page.
Whatever the payment route, your written prescription is yours at the end of the visit, and you are never obliged to buy eyewear here.
Booking Your Appointment
Booking works the same way for every patient. Book online, or call (305) 727-3937 and tell us it is a Medicaid or Medicare visit so we can verify benefits ahead of time. Same-day appointments are often available, and walk-ins are welcome when the schedule allows — see our walk-in eye exam page for how that works.
We are at 19013 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura, FL 33180, open Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Common Questions
Do you accept new Medicaid patients?
Yes. We accept new Medicaid and Medicare patients, adults and children alike.
Does Florida Medicaid cover a routine eye exam for adults?
Most Florida Medicaid plans cover a yearly eye exam for members of all ages, including adults. Because benefits vary between plans, we verify your specific coverage before the exam.
Does Medicaid cover glasses in Florida?
Generally yes, within plan limits. Adults are typically covered for one set of frames per year, and if you choose frames above your plan’s allowance you pay the difference. We will show you which frames sit inside your allowance.
Can I use Medicaid for a contact lens fitting?
Contact lenses are covered under many Florida Medicaid plans where they are medically appropriate, and some plans cover a six-month supply for adults instead of glasses. Prior authorization is sometimes required, which we handle for you.
I have both Medicare and Medicaid. Which one do you bill?
Bring both cards and we will work out the correct order of billing. You do not need to sort that out beforehand.
What if my child needs glasses and my plan’s allowance is used up?
Tell us and we will give you the out-of-pocket price before anything is ordered. There is no obligation to buy from us.
