Vision Insurance
 

The District offers vision insurance through Avesis.  All regular employees working at least 20 hours or more per week are eligible to purchase this benefit.  The benefits are:

• Eye exam once every year                              

• Lenses once every year

• Frames once every two (2) years

• May choose eye glasses or contacts (not both in a plan year- April 1 through March 31)

• Eyeglasses                              

  • $0 co-pay for eye exam                    

  • $0 co-pay for materials

  • If you stay within the plan limits, nothing other than eye exam & material co-pays is owed on glasses.

  • If you choose frames/lenses that exceed the limits allowed ($55 wholesale), you will pay the difference

• Contact Lenses:                                      

  • $0 co-pay for eye exam

  • Receive a flat $130 per plan year to use towards the materials (i.e. contact lenses) and services (i.e. fittings)

• If you choose to see a non-network provider, you would have to pay first, then file your claim.  This option will cost you more out-of-pocket.

To access your benefits:

1. Contact a participating provider and make your appointment.
