If you are a GEHA dental plan member (or a GEHA health plan member), you get vision coverage for no additional premium. Through Connection Vision powered by EyeMed, you and your covered family members each pay a $5 copay for an annual eye exam when you use a qualified EyeMed participating provider. Or, if you use a provider that does not participate, EyeMed will reimburse you up to $45 for an annual routine eye exam.
- EyeMed includes thousands of network providers including LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Sears Optical, Target Optical, JCPenney Optical and private practitioners.
- Preferred pricing with fixed discounted pricing for lenses, and lens options.
- No limit on the number of discounted glasses or contacts purchased each year.
To locate a participating EyeMed provider in your area, go to www.eyemedvisioncare.com and select the Insight network from the list in the "Locate a Provider" box. Or call (866) 804-0982.
