Seattle University's Vision Plan

Vision Service Plan (VSP) is administered much like a Preferred Provider Organization. There is a list of providers that have agreed to accept VSP's schedule of benefits. If you choose lenses or frames that are more expensive than the scheduled amount, you pay the difference. You can go to a qualified provider who does not participate in VSP, but reimbursement is only available up to VSP's scheduled amount and you may be required to submit your own claim.

The following chart shows the coverage provided by the vision plan.
