Will I receive a vision ID card? No because providers only require the employees name, SS# and DOB to verify benefits. However, if you would like to do so, you can go to www.vsp.com/create-account or vsp.com/register.html to register with VSP and obtain an ID card. Does the lower Costco in-network frame allowance mean a higher out-of-pocket cost to me? No, this is because Costco’s model is closer to wholesale pricing with minimal mark-up as compared to our other in-network providers. So, although Costco frame allowances are lower, you do not incur any additional out-of-pocket expense by visiting a Costco provider. The Costco in-network providers just agree to accept a lower fee as payment in full. Does my plan offer any additional discounts? Yes, there are discounted benefits and special offers included as value adds to your plan if you visit an in-network provider.
