Vision benefits packages and discount plans can usually help cover purchases of:
This list isn’t exhaustive, and different providers may cover products and services not on this list. Some premium eyewear products and enhancements may cost extra or be excluded.
A vision insurance plan can help with the cost of eye exams, prescriptions and contact lenses.
Unlike other types of voluntary insurance that provide unlimited benefits beyond a pre-set out-of-pocket deductible, most vision plans are in one of two forms:
A vision benefits package works like standard health insurance by providing in-network preventative and basic care for small, affordable co-pays. Out-of-network reimbursement is often included, but members maximize their benefits by staying in-network.
This coverage may also offer discounts on elective corrective surgery such as LASIK and PRK.
Vision discount plans function more like a prescription discount card, providing members discount prices on eyewear and lenses. Though discount plans don’t typically offer free eye care services, they can provide considerable discounts on examinations, procedures and eyewear.
In most cases, these discounts can decrease a member’s total cost of care.
Because employee policyholders generally cover the premium cost for a voluntary vision plan, this benefit is usually affordable for employers.
In most cases, voluntary vision is also affordable for employees and can considerably drive vision care costs down. Since these plans are typically funded with pre-tax payroll deductions through a cafeteria plan, plan participants enjoy a small tax savings, too.
