Diabetic Eye Exams

One diabetic eye exam is covered per year for patients with type 1 diabetes and every two years for patients with type 2 diabetes. This fee only covers the dilated diabetes examination, therefore the optometrist may charge a co-pay for the remainder of their examination, such as refraction.

Also, one partial diabetic eye examination is covered yearly for patients with type 1 diabetes and one partial diabetic exam every two years for patients with type 2 diabetes.
