About Vision Coverage
Benefit-eligible employees (75% FTE or higher) can elect vision coverage with Vision Service Plan (VSP) with or without electing medical coverage. This also means that eligible dependents who are not enrolled in medical coverage may be enrolled in vision coverage as long as the employee is enrolled.
Members may receive vision care from any VSP in-network provider or select retail units. Vision care can also be obtained from a non-VSP provider with lower reimbursement.
