    Eye Exam

    You have a $0 copayment when you visit a Davis Vision network optometrist for your annual routine eye exam. During this visit, your optometrist will check your vision and screen for certain conditions such as near-sightedness, far-sightedness and/or astigmatism. Your optometrist will also write a prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses if you need them.

    Eyeglass Lenses

    You have a $0 copayment when you get prescription eyeglass lenses from a Davis Vision network optometrist or retailer. You have coverage for the following:

    • One pair of clear, plastic lenses in any prescription, including: single vision lenses; bifocal lenses; trifocal lenses; lenticular lenses; standard progressive lenses.
    • Tinting of covered plastic lenses, either solid or gradient, is covered at no cost.
    • Scratch-resistant coating of covered plastic lenses is covered at no cost.
    • Certain Davis Vision providers provide discounts on additional lens upgrades. You will pay out-of-pocket for these upgrades.

    Eyeglass Frames and Contact Lenses

    You have a $150 allowance per year towards prescription eyeglass frames or contact lenses when you visit a Davis Vision network optometrist or retailer. You can choose from a large collection of manufacturers and styles available at each location.

    Rules for Using Out-of-Network Providers & Retailers

    If you visit a provider outside of Davis Vision’s network, you will pay 100% of the cost upfront to the provider or retailer for the services described above. You must then request reimbursement from Davis Vision for your share of the cost:

    • Annual eye exam: you will be reimbursed for 50% of the cost of the exam.
    • Eyeglass lenses: you will be reimbursed for 50% of the cost of the lenses.
    • Eyeglass frames or contact lenses: you will be reimbursed for amounts you paid out-of-pocket up to your $150 annual allowance.

    To request reimbursement, print and complete the Vision Services Reimbursement Form located on this page and mail it to the address listed on the form.

    If You Need Help With an Eye-Related Medical Condition

    • Your plan also covers treatment for more complex eye-related conditions and diseases, such as glaucoma, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy. If you need to see an ophthalmologist or other specialist to treat these conditions or to have eye surgery, visit a Braven Health network provider. For help finding an in-network specialist, call us at 1-833-272-8360 (TTY 711) or visit Braven's Doctor Finder.
    • Check your plan’s Evidence of Coverage (EOC) for your in-network and out-of-network costs for these visits. Your cost-sharing amounts are listed in the “Vision care” section of the Medical Benefits Chart in Chapter 4 of your EOC. Check the amounts listed for “diagnostic eye exam”. Please note that your copayment for eye surgery will vary depending on where you get the surgery.
  • Braven Health Group Members

    If your Braven Health Group plan provides coverage for routine vision services, you have access to an annual eye exam, eyeglasses, and/or contact lenses. Check your Evidence of Coverage (EOC) to know if your plan includes routine vision services.
