Common Questions About VSP Coverage
Can I use my benefits for contact lenses instead of glasses?
Yes! VSP allows you to choose between eyeglasses or contact lenses each benefit period. The contact lens allowance is usually around $150, and you'll have a contact lens exam fitting copay.
What if I want a more expensive frame than my allowance covers?
No problem! You can choose any frame you like. If it costs more than your allowance, you simply pay the difference, and VSP members receive a 20% discount on the amount over the allowance.
Do I need a referral to see you with VSP?
No, VSP does not require referrals. Simply schedule an appointment with our office, and we'll take care of the rest.
Can I get both glasses and contacts?
Your plan covers either glasses or contacts per benefit period, not both. However, you can purchase additional eyewear at your member discount.
What about lens upgrades and coatings?
Basic lenses are covered, but premium features like anti-reflective coating, blue light filtering, or photochromic lenses have additional copays. VSP members receive discounted pricing on all enhancements.
How often can I get new glasses?
Most VSP plans allow new frames and lenses once every 12 or 24 months. Check your specific plan details for exact timing.
