Vision
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.

Out-of-Network 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.
