Your well-being is at the heart of everything we do.
To help keep your employees out of the emergency room during the COVID-19 pandemic, we extended coverage for essential medical eye care. Now millions of previously uncovered members and their covered dependents receive this benefit at no extra cost, through June 30, 2021.
It gives VSP members and their covered dependents access to supplemental medical eye care for the detection, treatment, and management of ocular and visual conditions, including conjunctivitis, eye trauma, or sudden changes in vision.
Members can see their VSP network doctor in-person or remotely. This helps to ease the burden on primary care physicians and emergency rooms and provides added value to members, giving them more choice and convenience.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and a stay-at-home directive, a Florida-based man with diabetes in his late 40s noticed blurred vision and redness in his eyes. He waited for a few days to contact Dr. Pressley, hoping the condition would subside. Had he waited any longer, he may have increased his risk of going blind.
