Vision

Your vision benefits are provided by Vision Service Plan (VSP).

How to use your benefits:

• Call your VSP doctor and make an appointment.
• When you call, tell the doctor you are a VSP member and give the following information:
  • Your name and date of birth
  • The name of the group that provides your VSP coverage (Operating Engineers)
• Covered member's VSP identification number (usually the Social Security number)*
  *The covered member is the person whose group provides your VSP coverage. If it's not your group that provides you with VSP, then it's probably your spouse or a parent.
• After you make an appointment, your doctor and VSP will handle the rest. The doctor will check your eligibility for services and plan coverage.

 

Following is only a summary of the Vision benefits. For a complete description of Your coverage, please see the Vision Chapter beginning on page 41 of this SPD.
