Important: If you or your family members are covered by more than one health care plan, you may not be able to collect benefits from both plans. Each plan may require you to follow its rules or use specific doctors and hospitals, and it may be impossible to comply with both plans at the same time. Before you enroll in this plan, read all of the rules very carefully and compare them with the rules of any other plan that covers you or your family. Savings from enrolling in a MetLife Vision Plan will depend on various factors, including plan premiums, number of visits to an eye care professional by your family per year and the cost of services and materials received.
