Prescribing a clearer vision
Even those with perfect eyesight should get their eyes checked on a regular basis. Banner Health offers two similar plans through Vision Service Plan (VSP). Both plans cover preventive exams, have the same network and offer discounts through certain providers. Our vision network includes local providers as well as national companies such as Costco and Visionworks.
Value Plan
The Value Plan offers access to VSP’s large network of providers at a lower premium. On this plan, you’re covered for an eye exam and lenses or contacts every 12 months and frames every 24 months. You pay a flat copay for in-network services and frames.
Premier Plan with EasyOptions enhancements
The Premier Plan has a higher premium but offers the most coverage. It’s like the Value Plan but also includes an allowance for laser vision care and a greater allowance for eyeglass frames every 12 months. And with the EasyOptions enhancements, you can choose one annual upgrade: a $250 frame allowance, a $300 featured frame brands allowance OR an anti-reflective coating.
