Aetna Open Choice PPO

 

Open Choice PPO

Eye Examination

An eye examination once every 12 months is covered at 100 per cent after a $15 co-payment if carried out by a network provider, and at 80 per cent after deductible if carried out by an out-of-network provider.

Vision One Eye Care Discount Programme

The Vision One discount programme offers subscribers and covered family members immediate discounts on eyecare needs, including frames, lenses and contact lenses. This programme is an addition to, not a substitute for, the existing optical lens benefit which will be continued as before. The programme is available at over 13,000 locations nationwide and includes Lenscrafters, Target Optical and most of the Sears and Pearl Vision centers, as well as selected independent providers/offices.
JC Penney and Montgomery Ward no longer participate in the Vision One Discount programme. To obtain the discounts available under this programme, it is only necessary to show the provider the Aetna identification card at the time of the visit. The provider will apply the discounts to any purchases made and will accept valid prescriptions from any licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist. The Vision One programme may be used as often as desired. As it is simply a discount programme, claim forms are not required. For more details and outlet locations, call Vision One at (800) 793-8616, weekdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Vision One providers can also be found on the Internet at www.aetna.com/docfind/index.html and click on "Vision One Providers".

Members not found to be suitable candidates for this procedure will not be charged for the initial consultation.

Contact is made with a provider for an initial screening, at which time, the participant presents the Aetna ID card. If Lasik surgery is scheduled, the Lasik Customer Service office needs to be called (at the above number) with the date of the surgery in order to arrange to pay a deposit. An authorization number is provided by Lasik Customer Service in order to receive the discount. The surgeon will also receive written confirmation verifying the discount and the amount of deposit. At the time of treatment, the discount and deposit will be deducted from the surgeon's fee.
