Vision and health conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, can be revealed and detected early through a comprehensive eye exam. An annual exam with dilation will only cost you $10.00 at an in-network provider. Take care of your vision and overall health by taking the initiative to have an exam completed this year.
In addition to the exam, the plan allows for frames every 2 calendar years and lenses, including contact lenses, every calendar year. For frames the plan has a $150 allowance with a $25 standard lenses co-payment when using an in-network provider.
