Vision Plans
You have two options when it comes to caring for you and your family.
Basic Vision
Basic Vision benefits are included in both health plans and feature:
- Vision screenings and examinations only at Carle Eye Department for prescribing glasses or for determining the refractive state of the eyes (specialty office visit copay for PPO plan or coinsurance after deductible is applied for HDHP)*
*Due to provider based billing, you will be charged a facility fee in addition to any copay and/or coinsurance.
Voluntary Vision
Voluntary Vision is offered through an EyeMed package for an additional premium. You'll receive the most from this benefit when using an in-network provider from EyeMed's large network including:
- Target Optical
- LensCrafters
- All About Eyes
- Chittick Eyecare
You can also purchase online from Glasses.com and Contacts Direct. For a complete list of providers near you, use the Provider Locator on eyemedvisioncare.com and choose the SELECT network or call (866) 299-1358. For LASIK providers, call (877) 5LASER6. At this time Carle providers aren't in network through EyeMed.
This plan may be right for you if:
- You or your family members need coverage for contact lens, frames or lenses.
- You need additional coverage for diabetic vision services.
- You use another provider outside of Carle.
