Your vision plan through VSP offers coverage for you and your eligible dependents for eye exams, lenses, frames and contact lenses. VSP will also cover laser vision correction surgery at a discounted fee when you use a participating provider.
VSP pays for the majority of expenses for a number of services when you use a participating provider. Providers can be found on VSP’s website at www.vsp.com. Use the Signature Network when searching for a network provider.
When considering whether or not to elect vision coverage, consider how often you can use these benefits:
-
Exam – Once every 12 months.
-
Frames – Once every 24 months (child(ren) once every 12 months); $180 allowance.
-
Eyeglass lenses – Once every 12 months.
-
Contact lenses – Once every 12 months; contact lens benefit is not available in the same year that frames and lenses are purchased; $180 allowance.
-
Laser vision surgery – Discounts available through network providers. Go to www.vsp.com for more information.
-
Discounts – Available for frames, lenses and contacts if purchased in-network more often than benefit frequency. Go to

Submitting a Claim
If a vision claim for services or materials is obtained through an out-of-network provider, you will need to pay the entire bill at the time of service and submit a claim for reimbursement to VSP. Out-of-network claims must be submitted to VSP within 12 months from the date of service.
