Your Vision Benefits

Your Vision Plan covers an annual vision exam and provides an allowance for lenses, frames and contact lenses.

The Vision Plan is administered through Vision Services Plan (VSP). You’ll get the best benefit coverage when you choose an in-network VSP Provider.

  • To find a VSP Provider, go to vsp.com, log in and click “Find a Doctor.” You’ll pay your copay and any amount exceeding the Plan’s allowance at the time of service.
  • If you choose a non-VSP Provider, you’ll pay the bill in full, then submit a claim for reimbursement according to the Plan’s payment schedule.

You do not pay a deductible before the Plan begins to pay benefits.

View your benefits, see your claims, and access special offers on vsp.com, or download the VSP mobile app.
