CMS Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) Form
This procedure is not covered
Background for this Policy
An intraocular lens, or pseudophakos, is an artificial lens which may be implanted to replace the natural lens after cataract surgery.
Intraocular lens implantation services, as well as the lens itself, may be covered if reasonable and necessary for the individual. Implantation services may include hospital, surgical, and other medical services, including pre-implantation ultrasound (A-scan) eye measurement of one or both eyes.
