Vision

Regular eye exams help you maintain healthy vision. You can choose between two vision plans—the Premier and Base Plans—that cover expenses for regular eye exams, frames, lenses, and contact lenses. 


Eligibility

Vision benefits are available for teammates and their spouse/domestic partner and children.

Using your Vision Service Plan (VSP) benefit

TIH's vision coverage is provided by Vision Service Plan (VSP) through the VSP Choice Network. 

There are no identification cards or claim forms required for the vision program. To access your benefits, make sure to tell your doctor you're a VSP member when you make your appointment. Your doctor will ask for your ID number, which is your Social Security number. Your doctor and VSP will handle the rest by verifying your benefits and eligibility for services.

You have the option of seeing an out-of-network provider. You'll be required to pay the provider in full at the time of service. For out-of-network reimbursement, send itemized receipts along with your full patient and member information to VSP within 6 months of the date of service.
