About this file
This is a Vision Benefit Summary document for the City of Burleson's vision insurance plan provided by UnitedHealthcare Vision, effective January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The plan covers eligible full-time employees, retirees, and dependents with comprehensive vision care benefits administered through UnitedHealthcare's national network of private practice and retail chain providers. Coverage includes routine eye examinations, eyeglass lenses and frames, contact lenses, and specialized care for diabetics and pediatric patients. Benefit frequency includes comprehensive exams once every 12 months for standard patients and twice every 12 months for diabetics, with annual replacement of eyeglass lenses and frames. In-network copays are standardized at $10 for exams and $25 for eyeglasses or contact lenses, while retinal screening for diabetics is covered at no cost. The plan provides specialized benefits for children ages 0-12 and pregnant or breastfeeding members, including a second exam and replacement frames and lenses upon prescription changes of 0.5 diopter or more.
The plan features a tiered provider network offering different benefit levels for in-network versus out-of-network services. In-network frame benefits include a $150 retail allowance at both private practice and retail chain providers, with an additional 30 percent discount on frames exceeding the allowance. Out-of-network reimbursements are provided at maximum allowances, ranging from $40 for exams to $210 for necessary contact lenses, without copay requirements. The plan includes supplemental benefits such as up to 20 percent discounts on additional eyeglasses or contact lenses after benefits are exhausted, LASIK vision correction discounts of up to 35 percent through QualSight, and hearing aid savings through UnitedHealthcare Hearing. Sample cost illustrations demonstrate significant savings for employees, with total annual savings ranging from $107.58 for individual coverage to $292.06 for family coverage after accounting for premiums and copays. Customer service and provider locator services are available toll-free at (800) 638-3120.
