USD’s vision plan offers an extensive network of optometrists and vision care specialists. Although you can see any provider, you’ll save money by visiting in-network providers who participate in the VSP Signature Network. When you visit an out-of-network provider, not only will your costs usually be higher, but you will have to pay for any expenses in full at the time of service and then submit a claim for reimbursement up to the out-of-network plan allowances. Additionally, an EasyOptions Buy-Up plan is available, offering enhanced coverage for premium eyewear choices. Visit the How to Find a Provider page to search for in-network providers.
