How can I find out which plan I'm enrolled in?

Who submits my claim?

After you pay your provider, you or your provider will send us a claim for reimbursement.

Do I have to use a certain form?

I think a vision service should be covered, but it was denied. What should I do?

You can file an appeal or grievance. Ask your employer for a copy of your certificate of coverage or log in to our Vision member portal. Look for the section named Grievance and Appeal Procedure, which is specific to the state your employer is in. Follow the instructions to send us the needed information.

If you have questions about the process or want to check the status of your appeal or grievance, please contact us.

I want to allow another person to talk to you about my vision claims. Can I do that?

Yes, if you'd like to authorize us to release your dental insurance claim information to another person, you can complete and mail (or fax) us an Authorization to Release Health-Related Information form, which you can download from the Forms page.

The Privacy Rule under the Health Insurance Policy and Accountability Act of 1996 provides you with certain rights. It also states our responsibilities, as your dental insurance provider, to protect the dental health information we maintain about you.
