UNITEDHEALTHCARE Vision Coverage

Vision coverage is underwritten by UNITED HEALTHCARE VISION  www.myuhcspecialtybenefits.com . 

Employees are eligible to enroll in the voluntary vision coverage plan through UNITEDHEALTHCARE VISION during the first 31 days of their employment date, or during the open enrollment period. 

The plan utilizes a network of providers and requires that employees enroll for a one-full calendar year lock-in period.  Covered members can obtain one eye exam per 12 months, one set of lenses per 12 months, and one set of frames per 24 months.  Single coverage is available for $10.58 per month and family coverage is available for $24.42 per month.  The plan also provides a reimbursement schedule for services obtained through a non-network provider.  The option of paying vision premiums on a pre-tax basis (reduction) that may lower taxable income and increase take home pay is available. 

The open enrollment period is from November 1 to November 30 each year.

To enroll in the vision plan, a completed enrollment form must be received in Staff Benefits on or before November 30th.  If you enroll in the coverage, you are locked into the plan for one year. You will have the opportunity to either cancel or re-enroll in the coverage during  the next open enrollment period the following November.
