Vision
Back to Employee FAQs
Q. Am I eligible to elect vision coverage?
A. You may elect vision coverage for yourself, or for yourself and your family.
   
Q. Can I chose a nonparticipating provider?
A. You may choose to receive services from a participating network provider or a nonparticipating provider.
   
Q. What options do I have when using a participating network provider benefits?
A.

When receiving services from a participating network provider it entitles you to one of the following three benefit options for the plan year:

Option 1 – Standard Lenses
You pay an annual $10 co payment for a routine eye exam and receive standard spectacle lenses and a frame, within the plan allowance, at no additional charge.

Option 2 – Contacts
If contacts are elective, you pay an annual $10 co payment for a routine eye exam and receive a $130 allowance toward the cost of the contact lenses and fitting fees. If Avesis determines contacts are medically necessary, you pay an annual $10 co payment for a routine eye exam and receive your contact lens benefit at no additional cost.

Option 3 – Lasik Surgery
You use a participating network provider and receive a $150 benefit allowance toward the cost of Lasik surgery.

   
Q. What happens if I purchase noncovered options?
A. If you purchase noncovered options (e.g., eyewear) from a participating network provider, the providers have contracted with Avesis to provide these options at a reduced rate to Avesis members.
