VSP Benefit Summary
Vision coverage is provided through VSP, which has an extensive network of doctors. When you use a VSP doctor, all eligible services are covered at no cost to you after you meet the $15 copayment. You may also visit a non-VSP provider; however, you pay the entire cost at the time you receive services and file a claim for reimbursement.
