A Look at the Vision Plan
Benefits Administration would like to remind participants
in TSRI medical plans about the Vision Plan 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.
Please remember to bring an MES claim form when you
go to routine eye exams or to purchase eyewear. 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 benefits@scripps.edu.
The MES website also provides
information.
