VSP eye insurance:Tatum Eyecare is proud to be part of the VSP® insurance provider network.

This includes outstanding, personalized patient care… and the best selection of performance, luxury and designer frames in Phoenix.
What VSP® Insurance Covers
VSP® customizes options based on the specifications and needs of the company that pays for its employees to have insurance… or based on the person who pays for VSP insurance privately. There can be a very wide range of coverages and exclusions, based on which benefits package a patient has.
VSP® coverage may get you eye exams, prescription eyeglass frames and lenses, contact lenses and even corrective eyewear. Usually, VSP® packages include an allotment that covers a certain dollar amount. If you exceed that amount, you will be responsible to pay out-of-pocket for the difference. It is also important to keep in mind that some VSP® plans cover products like anti-reflective coatings and progressive lenses, while others treat them as out-of-pocket expenses.
Some VSP® packages cover contact lens fitments, others don’t. Some packages allow patient discounts toward both contact lenses and traditional frames. Finally, and we personally find this to be one of the greatest general benefits of VSP® vision insurance, you might even have access to a WellVision Exam. This is more comprehensive than a traditional eye exam because it allows us to check for things like blood pressure, glaucoma, diabetes… even liver disease and brain tumors.
What About VSP® and Lasik?
The VSP® LaserVision Plan does cover Lasik Surgery. Patients must go through a process in order to qualify. You will first be seen by a laser vision care doctor in the VSP® provider network, who may recommend you for corrective surgery.
After surgery, an eye doctor in the network, like those at Tatum Eyecare, will carry out your post-op follow-up care. Some of the Lasik Procedures that VSP® covers include:
- Conventional Lasik Surgery
- Custom Lasik Surgery
- Conventional Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)
- Custom Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)
- Blade-Free Lasik (called “IntraLase”)
