Good news on my eyes!

41. Great news.

What a relief. I have MD and am getting shots in my eyes. The Dr. stopped the ones to the left eye, since they were not helping. The right eye responds to the shots. I dread them each time, but it is the only treatment available. Here is a surprise. There is a new, more effective shot available, but Medicare will not pay for it. Since Medicare will not pay, neither will my Supplement insurance!! The doctor contacted an organization that can help with the expense. Instead of $75 per shot, my co-pay will be $15, My question is WHY won't Medicare pay for a treatment that is effective in delaying blindness? I can imagine how relieved you are to get the good news. Congrats!
