Vision Benefit

As a member of the Health Fund you and your eligible dependents are eligible for coverage under the Plan's vision benefit. Under the vision benefits, every year from date of last service, members and each eligible dependent are eligible for:

• Eye exam for eye glasses
• Eye glasses or contact lenses

How the Plan Pays Benefits
Under the Plan you may choose your own optometrist or obtain service from a vision center which has a contract with the Fund to provide services at a discount. If you choose to use your own vision dispenser and optometrist, you are eligible to receive benefits for an exam and lenses once every year according to the following schedule:

• Eye exam for glasses $25
• Eye glasses or contact lenses $75
• Maximum benefit every year $100

If you choose to receive services from a vision center which has an arrangement with the Fund to provide services, you will need to obtain a discount certificate from the Fund Office. This arrangement provides members and eligible dependents with an examination and a selection of frames and lenses, all with no out of pocket expenses. In addition, a wider selection of other frames are made available at discount prices. To obtain your discount certificate and information on the location of centers, contact the Fund Office.

Filing Claims
Claims for vision benefits are processed by the Fund Office and must be submitted within one year of the date of service. To receive benefits from the Plan, mail your paid receipt to the Fund Office at:

Local 153 Health Fund
