VISION COVERAGE

VSP Vision Care

Proper vision care is an important aspect of maintaining good health and is necessary to sustain occupational skills. Periodic eye examinations not only determine the need for corrective eyewear, but may also detect the presence of general health concerns in their earliest stages.

A vision care plan benefits employees in three ways: it provides large discounts through network providers, allows employers and employees to pay for vision care on a pre-tax basis, and encourages employees to stay proactive about their eyesight.

VSP was selected by the Group Insurance Trust because of its strong national reputation for quality and its statewide provider network here in Massachusetts.

What types of coverage are offered?

VSP is a pre-paid vision care preferred provider organization. It covers a comprehensive annual eye examination, including prescription of corrective lenses where indicated. It also covers lenses and frames or contact lenses. Discounts are available for a second pair of glasses and on laser vision care.

Who is eligible?

All active full-time and part-time employees. Dependent children are covered to age 26, end of birth month.
