Health and Wellness Home MenuVision Plan
Vision coverage is provided to permanent employees and their eligible dependents 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 you may be eligible for new lenses if the prescription changes meet the following criteria:
- An axis change of 20 degrees or a .50 diopter cylinder change.
- A new prescription would improve visual acuity by at least one line on a standard eye chart.
Participants are responsible for a $20 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. For benefit detail, review the Benefit Summary or contact VSP at 1-800-877-7195.
