UVP Supports MABA to Protect Medicare Vision Care

Strengthening Medicare for Seniors Who Rely on Vision Care

Unifeye Vision Partners is proud to support the Medicare Alliance for Beneficiary Access (MABA)—a bipartisan initiative focused on protecting Medicare reimbursement and ensuring access to high-quality vision care for beneficiaries.

As rising demand collides with declining reimbursement, MABA advocates for long-term reforms that safeguard both patient access and physician sustainability.

Why This Partnership Matters to Eye Care Patients

Eye care doesn’t operate in a vacuum. Across UVP practices, we’re seeing real impacts from Medicare policy changes:

Clinics face growing difficulty in hiring and retaining eye care professionals.
Wait times are increasing in many communities.
Access to diagnostics and surgical care is becoming strained.

By joining forces with MABA, we aim to address these challenges head-on—and protect patient access for the future.

What MABA Is Working to Improve

MABA focuses on updating outdated reimbursement models that no longer reflect the real cost of delivering care.

Key goals include:

Stabilizing Medicare reimbursement to reduce wait times
Supporting the shrinking ophthalmology workforce
Maintaining access to imaging and surgical technology
Preserving patient choice and access to trusted physicians
Securing sustainable eye care access as the Medicare population grows
