Vision
The District-paid vision benefit covers all regular full-time BCPOA, Classified, Academic, and MSC employees, members of the governing board, and eligible family members (IRS dependent children to age 26).
Part time Classified employees may purchase vision at a pro-rated premium. Eligibility is the first day of the month following the employee's date of hire. Upon retirement from the district, a retiree may self-pay to continue coverage under the district's policy providing there is no break in coverage.
Contact Human Resources immediately to report any change in dependent status. A new baby must be added within 31 days of birth. A spouse or domestic partner must be added within 31 days of marriage or the issuance of a Declaration of Domestic Partnership by the State of California, or a similar declaration issued by another state and any dissolution.
OBTAINING SERVICES IS EASY
Follow these simple steps:
- Select a provider. Select a participating vision care provider by visiting www.vsp.com. Obtaining services from a Participating Provider will maximize your benefits.
- Make an appointment. Make an appointment with the Participating Provider of your choice and inform them of your vision coverage.
- You're done! Your doctor will take care of the rest. The Participating Provider will contact VSP to verify your eligible benefits and submit a claim for payment for services covered by your plan.
- If covered services are received from a non-participating provider, you are responsible for paying the provider in full. You or the provider must submit the itemized bill and a copy of your prescription with the Claim Form to VSP Vision. Reimbursement will be made to the insured person up to the schedule of allowances shown for non-participating providers.
- The Policy provides full coverage for Covered Services when you go to a Participating Provider of the VSP Vision network.
