The university offers two vision plan options — the Basic Plan and the Enhanced Plan. Both plans are administered by EyeMed and pay benefits for eye examinations, prescription eyewear and contact lenses.
Under both plans, you can see a provider in the EyeMed Insight network or an out-of-network provider. However, you’ll always pay more for out-of-network services.
Save More with EyeMed Plus Providers
PLUS Providers are in the EyeMed network and help you boost your vision care savings — like a free eye exam and an additional $50 frame allowance. When you search for providers on the EyeMed website, PLUS Providers are indicated with a pink eye.

Back to school vision exams
It's back to school season and the perfect time to get your little one's eyes checked. Learn more about the benefits of vision care:
Out-of-network care will be reimbursed after you submit a claim, up to plan limits. Copays for out-of-network services will be deducted from your reimbursement.
Finding a Provider
To find a provider, go to eyemed.com and select Find an eye doctor. Then, in the Network drop-down box, choose the Insight Network. You can search by location or doctor name.
Walmart providers are also considered to be in-network providers; however, they will not show up in the Insight network search.
For assistance on the go, download the EyeMed Members App. For assistance with LASIK, call 800-988-4221.
You don’t need an ID card to use your vision benefits—just let the provider know you have EyeMed coverage when you get to your appointment.
