VSP $150 Allowance Concerns
I feel like I’ve been taken advantage of by my eye care providers for quite some time. Each year, I try to track down where my $150 allowance for contact lenses has gone, but they always seem to avoid addressing my questions. They claim that my allowance isn’t solely designated for contact lenses; it also covers other services. However, my invoice clearly lists a comprehensive exam, refraction, contact lens fitting/evaluation, and a year’s supply.
It sounds really frustrating to deal with that situation! It’s important to understand how your vision benefits work, especially when it comes to your allowance. Typically, the $150 allowance is intended for contact lenses or frames, but additional charges like exams and fittings can often add up quickly.
It might help to ask for a detailed breakdown of your invoice to see how each charge contributes to your total. You could also check your plan details to clarify what expenses are covered under your allowance. If you feel like your questions are still being dodged, consider reaching out to your insurance provider directly to get clarity on how your benefits are being applied. It’s your right to understand what you’re being charged for!
