Once in the portal, you have access to all the following information:

Where is my Davis Vision Insurance Card?

Our Davis Vision Insurance does not require that you have a card to get coverage! If your provider is in-network with Davis Vision, simply tell them that you have coverage with Davis Vision, provide your full name and (the employee's) SS#, and the provider will be able to verify with Davis. Pretty simple!

Deciding between glasses or contacts?

Each enrollee is eligible for either glasses lenses OR contacts every 12 months (from the time of last purchase through Davis). Eligibility for glasses frames is every 24 months. Employees are encouraged to review the policy coverage for glasses vs. contacts in order to determine best value considering your personal situation. 

How do I get reimbursed for Out-Of-Network care or purchases?

All online retailers (Warby Parker, VisionWorks.com, 1-800-Contacts.com, etc) are considered Out-Of-Network. 

Our Out-Of-Network benefits are as follows:

• Eye Exam: maximum reimbursement of $40
• Contacts: Elective: $105, Medically Necessary: $225
• Lenses for glasses
  • Single Vision: $40
  • Bifocal/Progressive: $60
  • Trifocal: $80
  • Lenticular: $100
• Frames: $50

If your Out-Of-Network claim was denied by Davis Vision - call them at 1-800-999-5431 to find out why.  Claims often get denied because the data entered on the forms does not match the data in their system exactly...such as putting Dr. on the form but the system has Drive spelled out!

Can I use my EBC HRA to pay for vision care?

You can use your HRA to pay for: 1) one eye exam per year per covered person, and 2) up to $100 per person for glasses OR contacts.
