Vision Plans

UnitedHealthcare offers two vision plans that allow patients flexibility and no waiting periods. Patients choose the coverage they need from UHC's two vision plans: Plan A (glasses or contacts) or Plan B (glasses and contacts).

Patients do have the flexibility to use non-network providers but will get the best coverage through the vision network. For example, an eye exam from a network provider will only cost $10. At a non-network provider, UHC will pay up to $50, but the patient pays the rest of the billed charges.

Vision Care for All Ages

UnitedHealthcare offers vision plans for people of any age. The vision plans have no age requirements — however, the primary insured must be at least 18 years or older — and are renewable for life.

Available Discounts

UHC members also can get a 20 percent to 40 percent discount on popular lens options (progressives, tints, etc.) and discounts on extra pairs of eyewear. Additionally, vision plan members may also purchase a high-quality digital hearing at a discounted price over retail.

Although laser eye surgery isn’t covered, patients have access to discounted laser vision correction procedures through the Laser Vision Network of America.

Combine Vision and Dental

UHC offers patients the ability to buy vision insurance as a standalone plan, but the provider also allows patients to add a vision insurance rider to their dental plan.

State Variations

Depending on the state, certain state-specific benefits, exclusions, and limitations may apply. For example, there are no state variations in Alabama, but California has several.
