Your Benefits Enrollment Guide

Vision
By enrolling in any of our medical plans, you and your covered dependents will automatically receive vision coverage through Vision Service Plan (VSP). Your coverage includes an eye exam, and either basic lenses and frames or contact lenses once every calendar year.

You may choose from a selection of fully covered frames and lenses. You may select more expensive frames, tinting, coating, progressive lenses, etc. for an additional charge. Note that the plan pays for one pair of glasses or contact lenses per year, not both.

Here is a summary of the key in-network and out-of-network VSP benefits.

Laser Vision Correction Surgery

Laser vision correction surgery, such as LASIK or PRK surgery, is not a covered benefit under the VSP plan. However, if you should choose a VSP participating laser surgeon, you will be eligible for the VSP discounted rates for selected laser corrective surgery. By utilizing a VSP participating physician, you will pay no more than $1,500 per eye for PRK, $1,800 per eye for LASIK surgery, or $2,300 per eye for Custom (Wavefront-guided) LASIK surgery. If you should utilize a non-VSP participating surgeon, you will not be eligible for any special discounts under the VSP plan.
