Vision Benefits

The MES Vision Program has been developed to provide affordable eye examinations and eyewear for Members. Members receive one comprehensive vision examination every 12 months, after a $20 exam deductible has been paid to the participating provider. If you go to a non-participating provider, you will pay for the exam at the time of service and then file a claim to receive a $20 reimbursement.
