You don’t need a referral to see a provider in our network. Providers can be family eye doctors or retail chains. Some even have offices at the mall with evening and weekend hours.

We work with EyeMed and Louisiana Vision Supplies to provide you with vision care and benefits.

 

Through EyeMed, covered services for kids (birth to age 20) include: 

 

  • Eye exams, including those for vision correction and refraction error
  • Treatment of eye conditions
  • Regular eyeglasses when they meet a certain minimum strength requirement
  • Medically necessary specialty eyewear and contact lenses with prior authorization (PA)
  • Contact lenses if they are the only means for restoring vision

 

Covered services for adults 21 and older include:

 

  • An annual eye exam
  • $150 each calendar year toward eyewear (frames, glass or contact lenses)
