Vision Care
What Is Not Covered

Yosion Benefits of America is designed to cover visual needs rather than cosmetic materials, and consequently includes some limitations in order to control costs. The following options or services will generally result in additional charges to the patient or are not covered under the plan.

ADDITIONAL CHARGES
A patient selecting any of the following items will be responsible for the additional charges, all of which are monitored and controlled by VBA.

  • Hi-Index lenses
  • A frame that costs more than the plan allowance
  • Rimless frames

Additionally, costs for contact lenses/services in excess of the plan's scheduled reimbursement allowances are the responsibility of the patient.


NOT COVERED

The contract gives VBA the right to waive any of the plan limitations if, in the opinion of our optometric consultants, it is necessary for the patient's welfare. VBA provides no benefit for professional services or materials connected with the following:

  • Orthoptics or vision training
  • Non-prescription lenses
  • Two pair of glasses in lieu of bifocals
  • Medical or surgical treatment of the eyes
  • Any eye examination, or corrective eyewear, required by an employer as a condition of employment
  • Services or materials provided as a result of any Workers' Compensation Law or similar legislation
  • Glasses and contacts during the same eligibility period

Lenses and frames furnished under this program which are lost or broken will not be replaced except at the normal intervals when services are otherwise available.
