The cost of treatment can often be a prime
concern for someone who has hearing loss.
Did you know that studies have found that income
can be significantly decreased by not wearing
hearing aids? Hearing loss can pose a significant
barrier to everything from productivity and overall
career success to household earnings.

Vision Details
(optional benefit)
How the Vision Program Works
Your out-of-pocket expenses – what you’ll owe for
vision services – will vary depending on the type of
provider you use:
For Network Vision Providers: After your copay, they
agree to accept the plan payment as full reimbursement
for covered expenses. Check our online list of providers.
They are categorized in three ways:
- Full service – are contracted to provide eye exams and
prescription eyewear at discounted rates.
- Exam Only – are contracted to provide exams ONLY at
discounted rates.
- Dispense Only – are contracted to dispense
prescription eyewear ONLY at discounted rates.
For Non-Network Vision Providers: You must pay
non-network providers in full at time of service.
Then you submit itemized copies of receipts and request
reimbursement from the UnitedHealthcare Vision Claims
department (administered by Spectera, Inc.). Your out-of-
pocket costs may be higher with a non-network provider.
Please Note: This vision benefit program is designed to
cover vision needs rather than cosmetic extras. If those are
selected, the plan will pay the costs of the allowed lenses
and you will be responsible for the additional cost of the
cosmetic extras.
Eyeglass Frames and Lenses
The eyeglass frames benefit includes their fitting and
subsequent adjustments to maintain comfort and
efficiency. Eyeglass lenses may include single vision,
bifocal, and trifocal/lenticular lenses. Additional costs for
other types of lenses, lens materials and lens option extras
may apply.
Vision Benefit Exclusions and Limitations
No benefits are payable for the following vision expenses:
Orthoptics or vision therapy training and any associated
supplemental testing;
Plano lenses (a lens with no prescription on it);
Oversized lenses;
Replacement of eyeglass lenses and frames furnished
under this plan which are lost or broken except at the
normal intervals when services are otherwise available;
Medical or surgical treatment of the eyes;
Any eye examination or any corrective eyewear, required
by an employer as a condition of employment;
Corrective vision treatment of an experimental or
investigative nature;
Corrective surgical procedures such as, but not limited to,
Radial Keratotomy (RK) and Photorefractive Keratectomy
(PRK);
Eyewear except prescription eyewear;
Charges that exceed the allowed amount;
Services or treatments that are already excluded in the
General Exclusions and Limitations section of the
policy; and
Optional lens extras not listed in your policy.
