Vision

This benefit helps pay for annual vision examinations and for glasses and contact lenses, subject to the rules of the Plan. The Plan uses a network of opticians, optometrists, and ophthalmologists called Vision Service Plan (VSP) to provide these benefits in an efficient and cost-effective way. Reduced benefits are available when you use a provider outside the VSP network. How often you can use the benefit and your copayment are shown in the benefit schedules below.
