Has any specific info been released about the new Medicare coverage for dental, vision, hearing?


I haven't seen anything yet about the mechanics of this new expansion's implementation.

enrollment? start date? coverage?

Realistically you'll have to wait to see what exactly is in the final bill that passes. n/t PoliticAverse Jul 2021 #2
