Vision coverage is offered on most plans. We work with Vision Services Plan (VSP) to make supplemental vision benefits available to members.
Vision Benefits
Vision coverage on most CHPW Medicare Advantage plans includes:
- $0 copay for yearly eye exam
- Prescription eyeglasses or contacts—up to $500 benefit limit per year for Dual Complete and Dual Select (HMO D-SNP) members
- Coverage for exams to diagnose and treat diseases and conditions of the eye (copay/coinsurance may apply)
- Large network of vision providers across WA
Note: Certain eye and vision services are not covered, such as radial keratotomy, LASIK surgery, vision therapy, or low vision aid

Vision Benefits by Medicare Advantage (MA) Plan
Members must use in-network providers to receive covered services, except in limited cases such as emergencies or urgently needed out-of-area care. With the exception of emergencies or urgent care, it may cost more to get care or purchase hardware from out-of-network providers.
- Medicare-covered exams to diagnose and treat diseases and conditions of the eye are offered through our specialist network.
- Supplemental vision benefits are provided through the Vision Service Plan (VSP) Choice Network.
Please see your plan’s Evidence of Coverage (EOC) or call Customer Service at 1-800-942-0247 (TTY: 711) for more information or assistance finding an in-network provider near you.
