The Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) provides comprehensive vision insurance at competitive group rates. There are three vision plans from which to choose.

FEDVIP offers vision benefits to eligible individuals. The vision plans feature comprehensive eye examinations and coverage for lenses, frames and contact lenses. Other benefits such as discounts on LASIK surgery may also be available. There are no pre-existing condition limitations and no waiting periods for vision services.

A vision insurance plan is much like a health insurance plan; you may be required to meet a deductible and provide a copay or coinsurance payments for your vision services. With any plan choice, you should look at all the information and find a plan that will best fit your needs. You should also review your Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) plan brochure to determine what vision coverage the FEHB plan provides.
