Do I have vision coverage?

Do I have to use a participating vision provider?
While there are advantages in using a participating VSP provider, you may use the provider of your choice. The benefit you receive depends on the status of the provider you select.

How does my hardware benefit work?
Members are eligible to receive up tp $100 to apply to hardware purchases every 12 months. Hardware includes prescription frames, lenses and contacts. This benefit is available to members every 12 months beginning from the date of the first service. Members are responsible for the hardware costs that are greater than the $100 benefit.
