Low Vision Rehabilitation Demonstration

The Medicare Low Vision Rehabilitation Demonstration is an outpatient vision rehabilitation project in selected sites across the country. This project will examine the impact of standardized national coverage for vision rehabilitation services provided in the home by physicians, occupational therapists, certified low vision therapists, vision rehabilitation therapists, and orientation and mobility specialists. Under this Low Vision Rehabilitation Demonstration, Medicare will cover low vision rehabilitation services, in the home or in the doctor's office, to people with a diagnosis of moderate or severe vision impairment not correctable by conventional methods of spectacles or surgery.
