The Costs Medicare Misses
Dental, vision, hearing. The gaps that catch people off guard.
Original Medicare does not cover dental care, routine vision, or hearing aids. For most retirees, these become out-of-pocket expenses that add up quickly. A single dental implant can cost $3,000 to $5,000. Hearing aids often run $2,000 to $7,000 per pair. Some Medicare Advantage plans include limited coverage for these services, but the details matter. Planning for these costs now prevents unpleasant surprises later.
