Vision Plan VSP Nationwide Coverage is available. VSP allows you one eye examination once every 12 months, lenses once every 12 months and frames once every 24 months. Contact Lenses are available in lieu of lenses and frames unless they are medically necessary, in which case both can be provided at the covered rates. Employee contribution amounts for vision benefits are taken on a pre-tax basis. Benefits become effective the first of the month following your date of hire and are available to all employees that regularly work in excess of 30 hours per week.
Pregnancy is treated as any other disability or illness.
The Plan will not pay benefits for any period of Disability caused or contributed to by, or resulting from, a Pre-existing Condition. The Pre-existing Condition would apply if, within 3 months before your most recent effective date of insurance, your disability is from any injury or sickness for which you incurred expenses, received medical treatment, care or services including diagnostic measures, took prescribed drugs or medicines, or for which a reasonable person would have consulted a Physician. The Pre-existing Condition Limitation will apply to any added benefits or increases in benefits. This limitation will not apply to a period of Disability that begins after you are covered for at least 12 months after your most recent effective date of insurance, or the effective date of any added or increased benefits. Additionally, basic accident insurance is provided for all benefit eligible employees for the same amount described above.
