Vision
The Fund provides benefits for one eye exam and lens(es) per calendar year. The Plan’s fee schedule is as follows:
- Eye exam ($20)
- Lenses ($50)
The Fund presently has an arrangement with three vision care networks; General Vision Services (“GVS”), Comprehensive Professional Systems (CPS) and Vision Screening that have agreed to accept the Fund’s fee schedule for the selected eye care as payment in full. There is no out-of-pocket expense provided the lenses and frames you select are within the variety of lenses and frames offered under the Fund. Please call the Fund Office or click on the vision care network links above for lists of participating GVS, CPS and Vision Screening locations and phone numbers to call to schedule an appointment.
