The University believes that overall “health” is achieved as individuals take control of their overall preventive health needs. Part of your overall health is ensuring that you have your annual eye exam.
The Vision Plan provides coverage for quality vision care for you and your family’s eye care needs, and has benefits to assist with the costs relating to annual exams, frames, lenses and contact lenses.
Dependent children may be covered up to age 26. Also, if you cover one (1) dependent child under the vision plan, you must cover all eligible dependent children.
Employees will be able to choose a provider from EyeMed's network for maximum savings and virtually no paperwork. However, employees may also seek eye care from an out-of-network provider. With out-of-network providers, employees will be responsible for paying the provider in full at the time services are rendered and then file a claim form to receive reimbursement.
