Does Medicare Cover Lucentis? 
Yes , Medicare does cover Lucentis . While there is debate over which drug is better for treating age related macular degneration , Lucentis or Avastin , Lucentis was approved by the FDA and is the one Medicare reimburses . However , the cost for Avastin is so low compared to Lucentis , that it often costs the patient less to pay for Avastin treatments out of pocket , vs paying the high co-pay for Lucentis injections .
