    Had an eye exam today . stuck to several therapy sessions and called it good. we had a vet house call only once, to put down our dog. we planned to bury him at our home. it was worth it to us but was pretty expensive at the time which was 30+ years ago. we are fortunate our...

    Judy I'm sure there are things Medicare doesn't cover. i always had to pay for contact lens evaluation out of pocket regardless of where i went. DH had me switch from my optometrist once I hit Medicare age which was a long LONG time ago. i dont know if anything has changed since then...
