The MetLife vision plan provides coverage for exams, frames, and lenses (either contacts or eyeglasses lenses). If you see an in-network provider, you pay a copay for your eye exam and lenses, and the plan pays a benefit of up to $200 for frames and lenses. Additional copays apply for eyeglass lens options.
With the MetLife vision plan, you may visit any vision provider. However in order to maximize your vision benefit, it is recommended you access participating providers by visiting www.metlife.com. Click “Find a Vision Provider” from the home page, follow the search instructions, and select the MetLife Vision - VSP Choice Network. When you visit a participating MetLife vision provider, you have a higher benefit, lower out-of-pocket costs, and receive the benefit at the time of service (no need to file claims). If you go out-of-network, you pay at the time of service and file a claim for reimbursement.
Frequency Limitation
The vision plan includes frequency limitations. The exam benefit, lens benefit, and frame benefit are once every 12 months. Either eyeglass lenses or contact lenses are allowed every 12 months. Please refer to the Benefits Summary below for complete details.
SHBP Vision Benefit
If you are enrolled in a SHBP Medical Plan, the plan covers 100% of one routine eye exam every 24 months. The plan does not extend to additional vision benefits such as eyeglasses or contact lenses.
