Vision coverage for Medicare retirees is not changing
This change only applies to PEBB members not enrolled in Medicare.
During open enrollment this fall, PEBB members who are not enrolled in Medicare will have the opportunity to choose their vision plan. The PEBB Program is giving members more choice by providing standalone vision plan options. This means routine vision coverage will be separate from medical coverage starting January 1, 2025.
Treatment for medical conditions such as infection, eye diseases like glaucoma, and eye injuries will continue to be covered under PEBB medical plans.
Members enrolled in Medicare will still have routine vision care covered by their PEBB medical plan.
Employees: Like dental coverage, vision coverage is an employer-paid benefit. This means you will not pay a monthly premium for vision coverage, as long as your employer offers the benefit.
Non-Medicare retirees and PEBB Continuation Coverage subscribers: Like dental coverage, vision coverage will have a monthly premium if you choose to enroll. It was previously built into the medical coverage premium. View premiums for retirees and continuation coverage.
Employees: If your employer offers this benefit, you must enroll or you will be enrolled by default in MetLife Vision.
Non-Medicare retirees and PEBB Continuation Coverage subscribers: Like dental coverage, you do not have to enroll in vision coverage if you do not wish to enroll.
