"Medicare Part B provides benefits for ophthalmology/optometry services which are medically necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of an illness or injury. The services must be consistent with the physician’s scope of practice. Where more than one practitioner furnishes concurrent care, services furnished to a beneficiary by both an ophthalmologist and another physician (including an optometrist) may be recognized for payment if it is determined that each practitioner’s services were reasonable and necessary"
