The School District's Vision Care Plan

The Vision Care Plan is administered by Vision Benefits of America (VBA). If you enroll in the plan, you may choose to receive care from a VBA-participating provider and receive a higher level of benefits, including 100% coverage for a vision exam and lenses. Alternatively, you may choose to receive care from a non-participating provider and have treatment reimbursed at a reduced level.

Dependents are eligible to participate in this plan provided they are under age 21, or age 24 if they are a full-time student. Coverage for dependents, who are NOT full-time students, extends to the end of the Calendar year in which they reach age 21. Coverage for full-time student dependents extends to the end of the month in which full-time status is lost, or until the dependent reaches age 24.

Effective July 1, 2008 the dependent eligibility will change to: "Dependents are eligible to age 21 (end of calendar year in which they turn age 21). If a full time student, dependents are eligible to age 24 (end of month in which they turn age 24)."

How the Vision Care Plan Works
Each time you or a covered spouse or dependent needs vision care, you must verify that your are eligible for services. You can either contact VBA's Customer Service Dept at (800) 432-4966 or visit VBA's website at www.visionbenefits.com. You can request a benefit form be mailed to your home address or, if your VBA doctor will accept an electronic authorization, you can ask them to obtain one on your behalf. To find out which doctors accept the electronic authorizations, call VBA or logon to their website. You must present the mailed form to your provider on yor first visit.
