We have great news to share! Certain part-time and intermittent employees are now eligible to enroll in the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP). This is an excellent opportunity for even more employees and their families to make eye care part of their healthcare plan.

As a part-time/intermittent employee, we understand that making time for you on-the-go is what matters most. That's why we designed plans that bring convenience and quality to the forefront. When you choose to enroll in VSP^® through FEDVIP, you unlock benefits that help you save money and keep you and your family healthy at every stage of life.

So, why enroll? Because eye health is healthcare, and your health comes first. Regular eye exams help you maintain healthy vision and wellness. Eye exams can even help detect more than 270 health conditions! Together, we can ensure you get the high-quality care you deserve with great value. Here are some of the benefits you can expect as a FEDVIP member.

Get the Information You Need Now

For a quick reference, check out our plan information and how to enroll. Plans, rates, and benefits for part-time/intermittent employees remain the same as our current full-time members. Please note that enrollment is only available to certain employees whose employing office or agency has notified them of eligibility, so enrollment periods may vary.

Choose a Plan that Works for You

As a not-for-profit vision care company founded by doctors, we make it our mission to ensure you get the quality care you need with low out-of-pocket costs.

VSP vision plans through FEDVIP offer a Standard Option plan and a High Option plan, which are designed to cover:

Routine eye exams and vision correction without referral
Low vision exams
Eyeglass frames and lenses, or contact lenses instead of glasses, at many eye doctor offices or optical retail stores
Lens options such as shatter-resistant polycarbonate; scratch-resistant, anti-reflective, and UV coatings; and tinted and progressive lenses
Discounts on laser eye surgery
LightCare to use your benefits towards non-prescription sunglasses or non-prescription blue light filtering glasses

For an eligible part-time/intermittent employee, access to healthcare with plenty of choices matters. With more than 110,000 network access points and growing, you're sure to find something that fits your schedule and needs.

Don't have time to shop in person for contacts and glasses? No worries! We've also made it easy to shop online on eyeconic.com for the convenience of contacts or fashion-forward frames at your fingertips. Eyeconic^® integrates your coverage information for a seamless experience.

Eye Care is Healthcare

A simple eye exam can help detect chronic health conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. When you enroll in VSP through FEDVIP, your benefits include regular eye exams, which are essential to your overall health. Whether or not you need eye wear, annual eye exams ensure you see healthy and stay healthy.

VSP through FEDVIP also can supplement your medical coverage to provide vision care for healthcare and wellness. Essential Medical Eye Care:

Includes an annual diabetic retinal screening with a $0 copay
Helps treat immediate issues, such as pink eye or sudden changes in vision
Helps with treatment options to monitor ongoing conditions, such as dry eye, diabetic eye disease, glaucoma, and more

Get Even More with the High Option

While both the Standard Option and the VSP High Option give you great benefits, the High Option takes the guesswork out of vision care. In general, the High Option will cost just a few more dollars a month and will cover more of the costs when you use your benefits.

In addition to less copays and out-of-pocket costs, the High Option also features a higher frame allowance and incredible lens upgrade benefits for the lenses you wear every day. At no additional cost, you can upgrade to TechShield^® anti-reflective coating—unparalleled in the latest technology and durability. The High Option also includes no copay for light-reactive lenses like SunSync^®. SunSync lenses quickly darken in sunlight and return to clear indoors, so you can help shield yourself from harmful UV rays without having to sacrifice convenience.

With these benefits alone, you can make eye care part of your daily life without needing to lift a finger.
