VISION
Expenses Not Covered

The EyeMed plan covers many, but not all, types of eyewear and services. To confirm whether a product or service is covered, you may contact EyeMed at 1-866-723-0514.

Following are examples of some vision products and services that are not covered:

  • Orthoptic or vision training; subnormal vision aids, and any associated supplemental testing
  • Medical and/or surgical treatment of the eye, eyes, or supporting structures
  • Corrective eyewear required by an employer as a condition of employment and safety eyewear unless specifically covered under the Plan
  • Services provided as a result of any Worker's Compensation law
  • Plano non-prescription lenses and non-prescription sunglasses (except for the 20% discount)
  • Two pair of glasses in lieu of bifocals

Coordination with the Health Care Flexible Spending Account
If you have elected to participate in a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA),
vision expenses not covered by EyeMed may be reimbursable through the FSA. A Health Care FSA gives you a tax break on eligible vision expenses that are not covered by the EyeMed plan-frames, lenses or contact lenses outside of the covered choices, replacement contact lenses and solutions and services provided by non-participating doctors.
