Vision

East Feliciana Parish School Board is proud to offer vision benefits for district employees and their families from AlwaysCare Vision.

 Covered Benefits

Exam: Each member is entitled to a comprehensive vision exam. An exam co-pay applies and is outlined in the grid below.

Materials: Each member may purchase eye-wear in the form of an eyeglass frame and lenses or contact lenses with this plan. Purchases are subject to benefit frequencies and co-pays.

Plan features include:

• Frame Benefit: Members may choose any frame within a provider’s collection, subject to the retail frame allowance listed below. If the cost is greater than the plan’s benefits, the member is responsible for the difference.

• Eyeglass Lens Benefit: Members always receive new lenses of the highest quality and craftsmanship. Standard plastic (CR-39 Plastic Material) single vision, bifocal and trifocal lenses are generally covered in full and plan allowances are listed below for specialty lenses. If the cost is greater than the plan’s benefits, the member is responsible for the difference.

• Contact Lens Benefit: Members electing contact lenses instead of glasses may choose to apply the contact lens retail allowance to any lenses in the provider’s collection. If the cost is greater than the plan’s benefits, the member is responsible for the difference. The contact allowance will apply to the retail cost of contact lenses and to any professional fitting fee charged by the provider.

• Laser Vision Correction: Members receive a discount on Lasik or PRK prices with participating surgery providers across the country (not an insured benefit).
