Benefits

If you are eligible for health benefits under PacifiCare HMO Plan provided by the Southern California IBEW-NECA Health Fund, then you and your eligible spouse are entitled to vision benefits as described herein and in the Plan.    

Employees and eligible spouses enrolled in the Kaiser Permanente Plan are provided separate vision benefits through Kaiser Permanente and are not eligible for the Vision Service Plan coverage as described below.

Vision Examination. A complete analysis of the eyes and related structures to determine the presence of vision problems, or other abnormalities.

Lenses. The VSP Providers will order the proper lenses (only if needed). The program provides the finest quality lenses fabricated to exacting standards. The doctor also verifies the accuracy of the finished lenses.

Frames. The Plan offers a wide selection of frames. However, if you select a frame that costs more than the amount allowed by the Plan, there will be an additional charge.  If ordered through a VSP doctor, you will receive 20% off the overage.

Contact Lenses. Contact lenses are in lieu of frames and lenses for your eligibility period.  

Cosmetic contact lenses, when chosen by patients will have an allowance made toward their cost by VSP.
