Frequently Asked Questions

How does the plan work with network doctors?

The plan is easy to use!

  1. Obtain a VisionPass/Benefit Form by calling our Member Services Department at 800-865-3676 M-TH 8am-8pm, F 8am-6pm EST or by faxing a request (see Welcome letter) to us at 800-421-0100. You may also request a VisionPass/Benefit Form through this website at Personal Touch for Members. With Personal Touch for Members, you can obtain the VisionPass/Benefit Form through email, fax, postal mail, or print a copy from the website.
  2. Once you have obtained a VisionPass/Benefit Form (valid for 60 days), select a VisionCare Plan network doctor (either through this website or by calling our Member Services Department at 800-865-3676 M-TH 8am-8pm, F 8am-6pm EST). Call the network doctor you have selected and make an appointment.
  3. Present your VisionPass/Benefit Form to the doctor during your visit. You'll pay any copayments at that time as well.

You have nothing more to do! The VisionCare Plan network doctor provides you with services and bills CompBenefits directly for the balance of your bill.

Since the plan is designed to meet your eye care needs, optional upgrades (like frames costing more than the plan limits, progressive lenses, or contacts that are not medically necessary) will cost extra. However, since all upgrades are on a wholesale basis, your cost will be lower than what you would pay on your own.

What are the advantages of using a network provider?

Our national network of providers can provide you with one-stop shopping. You get your eye exam and materials with nothing more than your copayment (cosmetic options will include additional charges).

What if I want to see a provider not in your network?

If you prefer, you can visit a non-network doctor. If you do, you will pay the doctor's regular charges and CompBenefits will reimburse you according to the plan's non-network benefit schedule.

How can I get further questions answered?

You may contact the Member Services Department with any questions or concerns at 1-800-865-3676, M-TH 8am-8pm, F 8am-6pm EST.
