VSP Patients

Park Family Eyecare welcomes VSP participants to our practice. VSP provides a full array of coverage for eyecare services and materials. There are several VSP plans available to employers and each provides different benefits for its members. When you schedule your appointment, please inform us that you are a VSP member so we can authorize your benefits.

In most cases, VSP plans do not cover 100% of expenses and most likely, there will be an out of pocket expense which must be paid for at the time of service. A review of your VSP benefits will take place during your visit to our office.
Most VSP plans provide for a comprehensive eye examination with a copay. Depending on the specific plan, variable allowances and discounts are applied to the cost of frames, lenses and contact lenses. Any costs above and beyond what VSP covers will be presented to you at your visit. To determine your out of pocket expense before your visit would be difficult so please understand, we will do everything possible to work with your specific plan to provide you with the best possible care, materials, and benefits.

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 maximum benefits. Examples of conditions covered under medical coverage include diagnosis/treatment of eye infections, injuries, glaucoma, retinal problems, etc. Payment for medical eye care is due at the time of service and we will gladly submit all medically related eye service claims directly to your medical insurance carrier for you if we are a preferred provider in your medical plan. If we are not a preferred providers in your plan, we can give you an itemized bill for you to submit to your insurance.
Contact lens related services are not considered part of a comprehensive eye exam by VSP. If you wear contact lenses, we will provide a diagnostic contact lens evaluation at the time of the examination. The fee for this service varies according to complexity of the case and is calculated using a predetermined VSP formula. Follow up care may be required if you are fitted with a different contact lens to make sure your eyes are responding to the vision change, comfort and eye health with the 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 a purchase of new glasses. This provides a "double benefit" for you!
