 For Your Eyes Only: Vision Plan Reminder
 Benefits Administration would like to remind participants 
                    in TSRI medical plans that the Vision Plan is offered through 
                    Medical Eye Services (MES). The coverage is as follows:
 
                     One routine examination per 12 consecutive months,
 
 Up to $110 toward frames per 24 consecutive months, 
 
One pair of standard lenses per 12 consecutive months 
                      OR up to $100 toward contact lenses per 12 consecutive months.  You will need to bring an MES claim form with you to routine 
                    eye exams and to purchase eyewear, and a $10 co-payment will 
                    be required at the time of annual services. 
                   MES packets are available in Human Resources. The packet 
                    includes an MES claim form, an MES Provider Directory (list 
                    of ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians), and a fact 
                    sheet. If you have questions or would like an MES packet, 
                    please contact Benefits Administration at x4-8487, or email 
                    benefits@scripps.edu.
