Using the Vision Plan

To receive vision care benefits, follow the procedure for one of the three options below.

Option 1: Choose a Member Doctor/Provider

Step 1 - Choose a doctor from the list of member doctors and make an appointment for an examination.

Step 2 - Make an appointment with your doctor and tell him/her that you have VSP or EyeMed Vision Care coverage.

Step 3 - The doctor will take care of all paperwork for payment. VSP or EyeMed Vision Care will pay the doctor for the services you received according to their agreement with that doctor.

Option 2: Choose a Non-Member Provider

Step 1 - Make an appointment and receive the necessary services from the provider. Pay the provider his/her full fee and obtain an itemized bill which must contain:
  1. The patient’s name
  2. The date services began
  3. The service and materials received
  4. The type of lenses received (single, bifocal, trifocal, etc.)
  5. The subscriber’s name, address, and Social Security number

Step 2 - Mail the itemized bill to your provider.

Step 2 - Contact the member doctor to see if he/she will fill a prescription from another doctor.

Step 3 - Take your prescription to the member doctor on your first visit.

Step 4 - The member doctor will fit you with your new glasses/contacts and take care of any paperwork for payment. The doctor will be paid by VSP or EyeMed Vision Care for dispensing your glasses/contacts according to their agreement with the doctor. You are responsible for any applicable copayments.
