About this file

This is a group vision insurance contract between Block Vision of Texas, Inc. d/b/a Superior Vision of Texas and the City of Lewisville, establishing fully insured vision coverage for eligible employees and their dependents. The contract became effective October 1, 2022, with an initial four-year term and automatic annual renewal thereafter unless terminated by either party with at least sixty days' written notice. The plan provides comprehensive vision benefits including routine eye exams, eyewear (frames and lenses), contact lenses, and LASIK vision correction procedures through the Superior Select Southwest network of providers, with specific copays and covered allowances outlined for in-network and out-of-network services.

The City of Lewisville is responsible for remitting monthly premiums to Superior Vision of Texas based on tiered rates: $4.15 per member per month for subscriber-only coverage, $7.90 for subscriber and spouse, $7.80 for subscriber and child(ren), and $12.20 for subscriber and family coverage. Premiums are guaranteed for the initial 48-month term but may be adjusted with sixty days' notice if state or federal law changes Superior Vision of Texas's liability obligations. The Group must submit premium payments by the first day of each month and may be assessed late fees if payment arrives within the thirty-day grace period; coverage can be terminated if payment is not received within thirty days. Individual members may be terminated from coverage for nonpayment after thirty days' notice, fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or failure to meet eligibility requirements, while the Group contract may be terminated for nonpayment of premiums, fraud, failure to meet participation requirements for six consecutive months, or if no members reside in the service area.
