Continuation Of Coverage

Coordination Of Benefits
If you have vision care coverage through the State or another source, and have coverage through the School District’s plan, you need to understand how both plans compare to each other in order to minimize the amount you pay. To understand the guidelines that determine which of your plans pays greater benefits, see Coordination of Benefits.
