Vision Benefits
VSP provides Seattle University’s vision coverage. If you select a medical plan, you are automatically covered for vision as well. If you decline medical coverage, you will not receive VSP vision coverage (Group Health HMO members are eligible for an annual eye exam under the Group Health medical plan).
VSP is a PPO plan that covers both in-network and out–of-network providers. You will receive the highest level of benefit using in-network providers. You can find a list of network providers at www.vsp.com.
