FAQ Question

I have insurance. Will I receive any benefit for my child’s glasses?

 

FAQ Answer

Maybe. If your private insurance covers more than the maximum Vision Benefit for Four Year Olds for glasses, you will not receive any benefit. For instance, if your child needs glasses: 

Example 1:

  • Glasses cost $500. 
  • Your insurance paid 80%: $400. 
  • Since your private insurance paid more than the maximum program benefit of $282.29, you will not receive any compensation.

Example 2:

  • Glasses cost $500. 
  • Your insurance paid 50%: $250. 
  • Since your private insurance paid less than the maximum program’s benefit of $282.29, you will receive $282.29 - $250.00: $32.29
