Compare vision plans

How do the vision plans compare?

Before you enroll in a vision plan, use the Vision Benefits At-a-Glance Comparison to get the details you need to help you decide. 

For information on specific benefits and exclusions, review the plan's certificate of coverage (COC) or call the plan.

What does a vision plan cover?

Vision plans cover:

• An eye exam (once every year)
• A set of lenses (Benefit resets every January 1 of odd years)

Vision plans give an allowance toward new frames or contacts (in lieu of glasses) every January 1 of odd years (2025, 2027, etc.)

Some plans may also include discounts on laser vision correction, or LASIK.

Does my medical plan cover vision?

Your medical plan covers general eye health.

If you have an eye problem that’s related to a medical condition, such as cataracts, diabetes, or an injury, then your medical plan will more than likely cover you. These types of claims would fall under medical insurance; whereas a vision exam and glasses would fall under vision insurance.

For example: If your eye doctor was fitting you for contact lenses and discovered a torn retina, your medical plan would cover further exams and visits until it was resolved. A torn retina is a medical problem, not a vision correction issue.

What providers can I see?

Before you select a vision plan, call the plan to see if your vision provider is in the plan's network.
