Complement your vision and hearing coverage with Medico’s partners
Older adults tend to need more routine care for their eyes and ears. But most health insurance plans, including original Medicare, don’t cover exams and services for vision and hearing health care.
Medico® has teamed up with two top-notch providers to fill vision and hearing insurance gaps and reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Medico’s partnerships with VSP® Individual Vision Plans and Start Hearing® can provide full-service, competitive coverage that fits your needs.
