Be sure you understand the meaning of the terms used in this summary, such as "copay." (See "Glossary.")
Routine eye exams and affordable eyeglasses and contact lenses are another part of your total health care program. That's why the county offers a vision plan that makes it easy for you to get the eye care you need.
As a benefit-eligible employee, you receive vision benefits through Vision Service Plan (VSP).
Although VSP administers the payment of claims for this plan, the vision benefits are "self-funded" by King County. This means that the county is financially responsible for and pays all allowable claims and administrative costs associated with the vision plan.
