Frequently Asked Questions

Group vision plans commonly provide routine eye-exam benefits and allowances or discounts for glasses or contact lenses. Check benefit frequency, copays, frame and lens allowances, network restrictions and exclusions. Treatment of eye disease may fall under medical insurance instead.

Vision premiums depend on the carrier, eligible group, benefit design and contribution arrangement. Compare exam copays, frame and lens allowances, benefit frequency and out-of-network reimbursements alongside premiums. Request proposals with the same census and effective date to compare total employee and employer costs.

First define employee eligibility, employer contributions, preferred providers and the desired effective date. Compare networks, exam copays and eyewear allowances, then confirm carrier participation requirements and schedule enrollment. Primary Care Insurance Solutions (PCIS) can help coordinate proposals and enrollment materials.
