EyeMed Vision Care Plan

The EyeMed Vision Care Plan provides access to both private practice and retail chain providers that provide quality eye care and materials. This plan is designed to provide regular eye examinations and benefits toward vision care expenses, including glasses or contact lenses.

EyeMed Vision Care Plan

The Plan offers in-network and out-of-network benefits. When using a participating network provider, you pay a modest copayment for exam and materials as shown in the Schedule of Benefits. The out-of-network benefit allows you to select any licensed non-network provider. As the plan participant, when visiting a non-network provider, you pay the full fee to the provider and EyeMed Vision will reimburse you for services rendered up to the maximum allowance. There are no copays or deductibles when using an out-of-network provider.

Your benefit includes annual eye exam coverage, eye glasses or contact lenses.  In-network for frames there is no member cost up to the $180 allowance.  In-network for contact lenses there is no member cost up to the $150 allowance. The standard contact lens fit and follow-up member fees will not exceed $40.  See Schedule of Benefits below for further details and out-of-network reimbursement amounts.
