VSP is different than other types of insurance you might be used to. Take car insurance, for example- you hope you never have to use it. But with vision insurance, you actually want to use it because it will save you money on expenses you already know are coming. With VSP, you'll receive services at rates well below walk-in prices, and you don't even need an ID card -any VSP doctor can access your plan coverage. All you have to do is make your appointment, get your exam, select your frames and lens options, and the doctor's office will take care of the rest. You pay any copays or overage right there at the doctor's office, and you're done. It's that simple. And don't forget, you can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) for out-of-pocket costs at the doctor's office. You can choose a vision insurance plan for individuals, or to cover you and a dependent, or to cover the whole family (children under 27 or disabled at any age). Each member gets the same great coverage.
