CONTACT LENS FITTINGS

“Contact Lens Fitting” refers to a new fit or to a re-fit into a different type of lens. Periodic contact lens evaluations are NOT covered services.

OUT-OF-NETWORK BENEFITS

You can access your vision benefit either in-network or out-of-network. Note, however, that out-of-network benefits are in lieu of, not in addition to, in-network benefits. If you obtain your eye exam from an out-of-network doctor, you cannot obtain another exam until the next plan year. Similarly, if you obtain your eyewear from an out-of-network provider, you cannot obtain eyewear again until the next plan year. Also note that your out-of-network eyewear benefit can be accessed only once during a given plan year.

By using an in-network provider, you enjoy the greatest value and savings. Members who opt to see an out-of-network provider must pay the provider’s full charges at the time of the visit, obtain a receipt, and file a claim within 180 days of the date of service to Community Eye Care. Your reimbursement would be based on your out-of-network allowance.

Non-Prescription Eyewear Policy

Most providers in the Community Eye Care network allow vision plan members to use their eyewear allowance for the purchase of non-prescription eyewear. However, CEC providers are not required to extend coverage to non-prescription items, and a few have opted to restrict coverage to prescription eyewear.

Before using your eyewear allowance to obtain non-prescription eyewear, please check with the provider to make sure that this is permissible.

Optical Discounts

Community Eye Care (CEC) understands that vision plan members may encounter sales promotions (such as “two-for-one sales”) or steep discounts offered by some of our optical providers. As is true of most vision plans, your CEC vision plan is not intended for use in conjunction with these types of offers. Providers will allow only one of the following:

• The CEC vision benefit, or
• The sales promotion (the sale price or discount)
