Benefits

California State University Vision Plan

Vision Service Plan (VSP) (Group #12292796) provides the administration of vision benefits and claims on behalf of the employer-paid California State University (CSU) Vision Plan. The CSU provides one vision plan for all eligible employees and their dependents. Employees who are eligible for benefits will automatically be enrolled in the plan.

A Vision Benefits Summary  and Vision Coverage Details  explain additional information on coverage, discounts and savings available to you. An Evidence of Coverage  booklet provides detailed information on CSU’s plan contract.

You may select any licensed ophthalmologist, optometrist, or dispensing optician to provide services covered under this plan, including providers outside of California. However, the highest benefit is received when using a participating provider from the VSP Provider list. The participating provider will verify benefits and eligibility and obtain authorization from Vision Service Plan. To find a VSP doctor see their Find a Doctor Web page.

Employees can complete an online member registration enrollment to create a user identification (ID) and password in order to view vision benefits and find a VSP doctor.

Video Display Terminal (VDT) Benefit

Active employees (dependents are not eligible) who utilize a video display terminal four (4) or more hours per day on a regular basis as provided in their job description are eligible for the VDT benefit.

There are no ID cards or claim forms for standard services under this plan. Forms are required to be reimbursed for a VSP Out-of-Network Reimbursement claim or VSP Video Display Terminal (VDT) eyeglass request.

If you have additional questions you may contact VSP at 800-877-7195.
