Vision Coverage


Superior Vision Services Plan


You are offered two vision plans through Superior Vision Services* — the Basic Plan and the Enhanced Plan.

You may choose to enroll yourself and any eligible dependents in one of the vision plans, whether or not you or your dependents are enrolled in the health plan. However, if you choose dependent vision coverage, and dependent children also are enrolled in the medical plan, the dependent children enrolled in the vision plan must match those enrolled in the health plan.

Please note that you can enroll or change your coverage only when you or a dependent first becomes eligible, during the annual open enrollment period, or if a dependent becomes ineligible. This holds true even if you have made a special arrangement to pay your premiums on an after-tax basis.
