Vision Benefits

Vision coverage is provided by VSP, which has an extensive network of doctors who agree to provide vision care and materials to participants at discounted rates.

Network Providers
Finding a VSP network doctor is easy -- Visit www.vsp.com and click on "Find a Doctor" or call VSP Member Services at (800) 877-7195. Once you enroll in a VSP plan, your personal benefit information is available here. Simply type in your last name and a "zero" plus your identification number (your ID number is your University ID number -- you will not receive a separate ID card). You can also check details such as your eligibility, date of your last eye exam, and which VSP network doctor you used. All UA Choice plans have the same vision benefit.
