WHAT IS MY COST FOR VISION BENEFITS?

Your share of the cost will depend on the services you receive and whether you obtain them from a VSP Network Provider or a non-network provider.

VSP Network Provider

Services from a Network Provider are subject to a $15.00 deductible. The vision examination is paid in full thereafter. Eyeglass lenses are paid in full excluding any extra cosmetic lens services. An eyeglass frame allowance up to a $37 wholesale value is covered. For frames with a higher wholesale cost, you will be responsible for no more than double the wholesale difference. An allowance of $100 is provided for cosmetic contact lenses in lieu of eyeglasses. Medically-necessary contact lenses are paid in full. You will be responsible to pay the provider for the deductible, any extras and any amount over Plan allowances. The Network Provider will submit a claim to and be paid by VSP for the covered services.

Non-network vision provider

There is no deductible for services received from a non-network provider. You will be responsible for paying the non-network provider for all services. You will need to submit an itemized statement of the amounts you paid to VSP. You will be reimbursed up to a maximum per service. Refer to the Plan Document/Summary.
