Vision Service Plan
Available in all 50 states
To obtain a list of VSP member doctors call VSP at 1-800-877-7195, visit their web site at www.vsp.com or you may contact your benefits representative. Contact the VSP member doctor and make an appointment. Identify yourself as a VSP member and provide the doctor’s office with the covered member’s social security number and employer’s name. The member doctor will call VSP to verify your eligibility and plan coverage. If you are not eligible the doctor’s office will call to explain why and discuss available options.
When services are received from a VSP member doctor, reimbursement is made directly to the doctor. The patient will have no out-of-pocket expense other than the copayment, unless optional items are selected that the group does not cover. Optional items include, but are not limited to, oversize lenses, coated lenses, no-line multifocal lenses or a frame that exceeds the wholesale allowance.
If services are obtained from a non-member doctor and/or dispensing optician, the bill is submitted to VSP at: PO Box 997100, Sacramento, CA 95899 and will be reimbursed according to the above schedule. The copayment applies to member and non-member services.
Your Whole Family is Eligible
