VISION
so you can see clearly
The vision plan covers one routine eye exam per calendar year and offers a vision hardware benefit every other year. You are covered through Premera.
Eye exam: You pay a $25 copay when you see an in-network Premera provider.
Vision hardware: You can use up to $200 for vision hardware, including prescription lenses and frames for prescription glasses, prescription contact lenses, prescription safety glasses, and prescription sunglasses. Your $200 vision hardware benefit resets each odd calendar year.
