Examination of Covered Persons

UnitedHealthcare Vision may reasonably require that a Covered Person be examined at
UnitedHealthcare Vision's expense by a Network Provider acceptable to the Company.
Explanation of Benefits (EOB)

will let you know if there is any portion of the claim you need to pay. If any claims are

You can also view and print all of your EOBs online at www.myuhcvision.com. See
Section 10, Glossary for the definition of Explanation of Benefits.
