IVSJPA: Vision Benefits Summary

Vision Benefit Summary

Network and Non-network providers

The Plan Sponsor has contracted with an organization or “Network” of vision providers.  The Network is Medical Eye Services (MES).  Network providers have agreed to provide care at negotiated rates.  Lists or directories of the    Network providers will be given to Plan participants without charge.

When obtaining vision care services, a Covered Person has a choice of using a provider who is participating in the Network or any other Covered Provider of his choice (a Non-Network provider).

Since Network providers have agreed to provide services to Covered Persons at negotiated rates, when a Covered Person uses a Network provider his out-of-pocket costs may be  reduced because he will not be billed for expenses in excess of “Usual, Customary and Reasonable”.  The Schedule of Vision Benefits (below) may also include other benefit incentives to encourage Covered Persons to use Network providers whenever possible.
