As a member, you have access to two distinct types of dental plans, a PPO and an HMO. Both types are comprehensive and cover procedures including cleanings, X-Rays, fillings, periodontal issues, crowns, dentures, and implants. The main difference is how the plans work.

PPO Plans are popular as they allow you to use any dentist. Your dentist does not need to belong to a certain network. Specialist referrals are not needed. You are also free to switch dentists at will.

HMO Plans use a network of highly qualified dentists that are pre-screened and thoroughly evaluated prior to their acceptance in the network. You must use one of these dentists. You may not use a dentist unless they belong to the network. Specialist referrals are needed and will be provided by your primary dentist.

MES Vision Plan – this full-service Medical Eye Services (MES) PPO vision plan, you may see any provider nationwide, but if you use one of the MES network providers, you will receive the highest benefits at the lowest costs. The MES Network not only has thousands of individual providers, but it also includes many Lenscrafters, Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Target, Costco, and Sears locations. MES also allows members who wear contacts to save additional money to ordering the contacts online. (This plan ends 12-31-2022; those enrolled in the plan on that date will be changed to the VSP plan.)

Vision by VSP (effective 1-1-2023)

Eye exams are vital to your overall wellbeing. Not only can they detect signs of potentially blinding conditions like glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and macular degeneration, but they can also detect signs of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol – issues that may go unnoticed.

This plan allows you to use any eye care provider but choosing a VSP Choice Network provider will give you the highest benefits and lowest out-of-pocket costs. Find local providers at: www.VSP.com
