Now at 46, I’m becoming more familiar with my eye insurance. I have VSP through the state of California employment. Up until this year, I was strictly using a VSP in network optometrist. Finally went to a Stanley Optics, Americas’s Best type place. Way better value for your insurance. All the frames at a VSP network was marked up., nullifying the allowance I got with my upgraded VSP plan. At Americas best for example, I got my exam and frames for $50 through my insurance. At a VSP network shop, would’ve cost me $251 without frames. Huge difference. Bottom line, know your insurance and know your options.

My husband is 39 legally blind. On disability for that. Funny thing his health coverage does not allow vision. Today out of pocket he paid 450 for new frames.and lences...this is normal for him every year. We decided he needed a.vision plan. He requires all the upgrades to his lenses. So as of today he is a member of VSP. I will post more after his first real use of VSP. So far everything has meet what we need.

@@Heavenleigh98 HI, so my husband had zero problems with VSP the doctor office has never had any issues with claims. His last visit he only paid 15 to see thr doctor which took about an hour so no rushing. And with new frames and all the upgrade he paid 150 not bad from last year of 450. I would recommend vsp to anyone.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions! I accidentally got Davis through my health insurance plan. I previously had VSP. I recently bought new glasses and I noticed something was off. The glasses just weren't as good as my old ones. I expected an improvement in my vision. Instead I have less clarity. I bought the extra everything because I get cluster headaches from eye strain and these glasses are simply not as good. My vision isn't that bad. There was a slight adjustment from my previous prescription, but I don't see the improvement at all. I had to return 2 of the 3 pairs for a different frame. One pair squeaked like a cheap pair of sunglasses from Walmart. Oddly enough, the sunglasses were the only ones I did not return. The other was entirely too narrow for my face, and I'm not thrilled with the options I'm stuck with. I spent a bunch of money on these frames and lenses and to have such low quality is extremely disappointing. I can't believe my health insurance company (and I have really great insurance) even uses Davis over VSP. I will be switching back to VSP during open season for like $2 more per month!! Geez.

I have Davis Vision, but before i started my job, i never had eye insurance at all so it saves me so much money with contacts and glasses. My exams are free.

@sarayoung9395 3 жыл бұрын

I just got Davis vision that starts up January 1st, when I tried to call the customer service phone number on the line so I can find out what contacts will be covered (no information was ever sent about this) I couldn't even get through to anyone. This is the first time I've had vision coverage ever (my employer just added it for 2021 to our benefits). Kinda wish they would have gone with another provider. VSP sounds the best and most people I know with vision insurance have VSP.

Do you recommend VSP for ophthalmologist visits? Seems like VSP has better value. Thanks for your recommendation.

@JoelHayden 3 жыл бұрын

Most ophthalmology offices bill medical visits through your health insurance. But if they could bill routine, I would think VSP would be their choice, and yours. Hope this helps!

I am disgusted by VSP. I tweeted on twitter also and found somebody else had the same problem with VSP. For one full month I have been trying to file a claim spend a lot of to go to the last page and the it throws me the same error: "We are experiencing problems right now, please try again later" . I called customer service three times. Two times I was told to file paper claim and one time I was told that they have submitted a ticket number 3XXXX to IT department and they should fix it in two days. It has been 20 days since and still the same problem. I am really pissed off with VSP and I will spread the good name everywhere on internet if this is not fixed. I cannot even find an email address to submit the screenshot to show. What an insurance company it is ?

We have VSP and it’s awful. They took only $10 off my kids yearly eye glasses this year and $24 off of my husbands. No bells or whistles. Just basic. Kids were $139 without the frames. Husbands $462.
