VSP® Vision Care has further extended access to its VSP Primary EyeCare PlanSM services through November 30, 2021 for most members and their dependents who are not currently covered with this benefit.

This offering allows more members to access the care they need from their eye doctor. VSP Primary EyeCare Plan provides additional options for doctors as well. Many Americans have medical eye care coverage through their health plans, and VSP Primary EyeCare Plan services can be a helpful supplement in those cases or can be a primary source of payment when a doctor does not participate on a particular health panel.

VSP Primary EyeCare Plan provides supplemental medical eye care services for the detection, treatment, and management of ocular and visual conditions. The services include treatment for eye trauma, injury, conjunctivitis, foreign body removal, and exams and tests to diagnose sudden vision changes. Some services can be performed remotely.  

Service specifics follow:

  • Essential medical eye care services are temporarily available for all insured VSP members who don’t already have VSP Primary EyeCare Plan, including Cigna Vision members.
  • Exclusions include MetLife, some specific clients and discount plan members e.g., Access, VSP Vision Savings PassTM.
  • VSP members have a $20 copay for exam services, payable to the doctor at the time of service.
  • Call VSP Customer Care at 800.615.1883 to obtain an authorization for the temporary medical eye care services, if they do not already have VSP Primary EyeCare Plan.
  • The member’s health insurance carrier should be billed as primary when other plan coverage exists, and you participate on the health plan’s network.
