Vision

Caring for your eyes is a very important part of your overall health and wellness. That's why the state offers you competitive vision coverage at affordable rates.

New Vision Care Plans

In 2009, the state will partner with Humana Vision to offer vision coverage. When you enroll, you can tap into an extensive national network of vision care providers once every 12 months for exams and lenses, and once every 24 months for frames. You can also use out-of-network vision care providers and submit a claim to receive benefits up to a set allowance based on the type of service.

You have two vision plans to choose between:

• Option 1 covers exams, frames and lenses
• Option 2 covers only frames and lenses

Vision Plan Highlights

*The actual benefit amount the plan will reimburse for non-network doctors will be the least of the maximum shown in the chart, the amount actually charged, or the amount a doctor usually charges a private patient.

** Medically necessary (prior authorization required) is defined as 1) following cataract surgery without intraocular lens, 2) correction of exreme visual acuity problems not correctable with glasses, 3) anisometropia greater than 5.00 diopters and asthenopia or diplopia, with spectacles, 4) Keratoconus, or 5) moncular aphakia and/or binocular aphakia and/or binocular aphakia where the doctor certifies contact lenses are medically necessary for safety and rehabiliation to a productive life.
