Group vision insurance coverage is provided to employees and their eligible dependents who are enrolled in the medical plan. The vision plan is provided through Vision Service Plan (VSP). The program provides for an eye examination every twelve months, and lenses and frames once every twenty-four months. If your lens prescription changes before you are eligible for new lenses and these prescription changes meet the following criteria, lenses and frames may be replaced at a 12 month frequency instead of a 24 month frequency:
- an axis change of 20 degrees or a .50 diopter cylinder change
- a new prescription would improve visual activity by at least one line on a standard eye chart
Participants are responsible for a $20.00 co-payment to the participating doctor for the eye examination and an additional co-payment of at least $20 for lenses and/or frames. Benefits are reduced if a non-VSP-member doctor is used. |
