MedPlus Includes Routine Vision Coverage
Did you know that vision exams can serve as a window into your overall health? Annual eye exams not only detect eye diseases like cataracts and glaucoma; they can also provide early detection of other diseases like diabetes, multiple sclerosis and high blood pressure.
That’s one of the reasons why WEA-MedPlus provides routine vision benefits via the National Vision Administrators (NVA). As a MedPlus member, you will have coverage for routine vision exams and vision correction materials, such as lenses, frames and contacts.
If you choose to get your services from a non-network provider, you may download and fill out this claim form in order to get reimbursement.
