Park Family Eyecare welcomes VSP participants to our practice. VSP provides a full array of coverage for eyecare and associated materials and services. There are hundreds of VSP plans available to employers to select from, and each provides different benefits for its members. It is critical that you inform our office at the time you schedule your appointment that you are a VSP member. This way we can contact VSP prior to your visit to obtain your specific benefits description. In most cases VSP plans does not cover 100% of expenses, and as such you should expect there to be out of pocket expenses which must be paid for at the time of service. A review of your VSP benefits and comparison to usual and customary will take place during your visit to PFEC.

Most (not all) VSP plans provide for a comprehensive eye examination (with a copay on the member's part) Depending on the specific plan, variable allowances and discounts are applied to cost of frames, lenses, and contact lenses. Any costs above and beyond what VSP covers will be presented to you at the time. Due to this fact, it is impossible to determine before your visit what your out of pocket expenses would be. Please understand we will do everything possible to work with your specific plan to provide with the best care, materials, and benefits possible.

Note: MEDICAL EYE CARE SERVICES ARE NOT COVERED BY VSP. If you require medical eye care services we will work along with your medical insurance carrier to help you receive the maximium benefits. Examples of conditions covered under medical coverage include: diagnosis/treatment of eye infections, injuries, glaucoma, retinal problems, etc. As a service to you, PFEC will submit all medically related eye service claims directly to your medical insurance carrier for you at no charge. If we are preferred providers in your medical plan we will accept direct payment from the carrier, if we are not, we will write you a offical itemized bill for you to submit to your insurance after you pay for your services directly to our office.

Contact lens related services(not materials) are not considered by VSP to be a part of a comprehensive eye exam. If you wear contact lenses we will provide a diagnostic contact lens evaluation at the time of the examination. The fee for service varies according to complexity of the case. The fee for the diagnostic contact lens exam is calculated using a predetermined VSP formula. Should you require a refitting into a new material or design of contacts lens then appropiate contact lens after care or follow up care is required to make sure your eyes are responding appropiately in terms of vision, comfort, and eye health to a new type of contact lens.

Contact lens materials are subject to an allowance/discount under VSP.

Most VSP plans allow you to use either the contact lens allowance or the glasses coverage, not both. Should you desire to purchase both glasses and contacts we suggest that you utilize the contact lens allowance for your contact lens materials and in addition you will receive a 20% DISCOUNT ON NEW GLASSES PURCHASES. This provides a "double benefit" for you!
