VSP Choice Access® Plan
The VSP Choice Access Plan is a savings plan with regional pricing on exams, lenses, and certain lens enhancements (listed below) that provides a savings to eligible patients when they see a VSP Choice Network Doctor. Benefits may be used an unlimited number of times during the patient's enrollment in the VSP Choice Access Plan.
The plan is not available in Montana, Vermont, Washington, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

- You can view the Patient’s Record Report for plan information including savings information and regional pricing.
Important!
There are no authorizations or claims to file—just bill the patient directly after applying the appropriate fees.
Exam Coverage
Provide the level of exam needed to determine your patient’s visual health status. Use professional judgment when evaluating prescriptions from another doctor. You may request an additional exam at 80% of U&C.
