EyeMed PLUS
When you use an EyeMed PLUS provider, you pay $0 copay for an exam and receive an extra $50 allowance for frames. PLUS providers are already in the EyeMed network and no extra paperwork is required. Go to eyemed.com/en-us to search for PLUS providers.
Diabetic Eye Care Services
If you have diabetes, EyeMed offers some in-network services at no cost. Retinal imaging, extended ophthalmoscopy, gonioscopes and more are covered at 100% with no copay. These services are after and in addition to an initial comprehensive eye exam. Find more details on the MyBenefits site.
Hawaii residents
Coverage Highlights
Similar to dental, Hawaii residents can choose between EyeMed and HMSA for vision coverage. The EyeMed plan is the same one offered to our continental U.S. colleagues and requires you to enroll if you want coverage. If you choose not to take action and enroll in HMSA medical coverage, you’ll receive HMSA vision at no additional cost and enrollment is automatic.

- One pair of eyeglass lenses or contact lens allowance is covered within a calendar year.
- Frames must be chosen from a group selected by the provider. If the member chooses a frame outside of the group, the member will have to pay any difference between HMSA’s allowance and the provider’s charge for the frames. If the member replaces only the lenses of his/her glasses, the allowance for frames cannot be applied to the cost of lenses and contact lenses.
