How the Vision Plan Works

2. Select a VSP doctor from the list.
3. When you call to make an appointment inform the VSP Doctor that you are a VSP participant.
4. The VSP Doctor will contact Vision Service Plan for your eligibility status and a benefit form.
5. Pay the $5 copayment to the VSP Doctor when you receive the service.
6. Payment for any additional (non-covered) services can be arranged between you and your doctor.
