100% Preventive Care & Medical Information Resources

Preventive care can help keep you healthy or catch a possible problem early. Preventive services generally screen for certain types of cancer, immunize you against disease and are received once per year, or as recommended by your doctor. When you visit a network provider, your plan covers preventive services at 100%. If you receive both preventive and non-preventive care at your visit, the preventive services will be covered at 100%. You’ll pay a share of the costs for the non-preventive services.

You have the freedom to receive services from any provider. You will, however, receive a greater level of benefit if you use a provider who participates in the EyeMed Insight network. By using a network provider, you may also receive discounts for services not otherwise covered by the vision plan (i.e., sunglasses and laser vision correction).

Please note: this plan provides coverage for materials and hardware only. Coverage for routine annual vision exams are provided through your Medica medical plan as a preventive appointment as long as you use an in-network provider.
