HOW TO USE THIS PLAN VSP provides Plan Benefits to Covered Persons based on the level of coverage purchased by the Client. Refer to the Schedule of Benefits and Additional Benefit Rider (if applicable) for specific Plan Benefits. 1. Contact VSP to obtain a list of participating providers, and/or to view available benefits, (see below for contact information). 2. Contact a VSP Preferred Provider’s office to schedule an appointment and indicate that Covered Person is a VSP member. Should Covered Persons fail to identify themselves as VSP members, Plan Benefits shall be limited to those of an Open Access Provider, if such Plan Benefits are available. 3. Once the appointment is made, the VSP Preferred Provider will obtain benefit verification from VSP. The VSP Preferred Provider will bill VSP directly and the Covered Person is responsible for payment of any applicable Copayments, non-covered services or materials, or amounts which exceed plan allowances, and annual maximum benefits. 4. If the Policy includes Plan Benefits for Open Access Providers, Covered Person may be responsible for paying for all services and/or materials in full and submitting a claim to VSP. All reimbursement will be in accordance with the Open Access Provider fee schedule, less any applicable Copayment. Obtaining services from an Open Access Provider will typically result in higher out of pocket expenses for Covered Persons. All claims must be submitted to VSP within [365] calendar days from the date services are rendered and/or materials provided. Claims received by VSP after [365] days will be denied unless prohibited by applicable state or federal law.
