Health and Wellness Home MenuVision Plan
Vision coverage is provided to extra-help/temporary 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.
