Vision Insurance FAQ's
Do my dependents have to visit the same provider that I select?
No. You and your dependents each have the freedom to choose any provider.
Would I be able to get an eye examination from one provider and my glasses or contact lenses from another?
Yes. You will need to check with your provider to see what their policy is for filling another provider’s prescription. However, your plan only covers glasses or contact lenses once per frequency, so check with your employer for details.
Do I need an ID card in order to use MetLife Vision benefits or discounts?
No. You do not need an ID card in order to get services through this vision plan.
Do I need to file a claim?
If you visit a participating MetLife Vision provider, they will confirm your eligibility, calculate any out-of-pocket costs, and submit a claim on your behalf at the time of service.
