                                                    FAX: (248) 733-6060


                   Please note: Receipts for services and materials purchased on different dates must be
                   submitted together at the same time to receive reimbursement.

                   Failure to provide all the information listed above may delay any reimbursement that may be
                   due you.


                   After UnitedHealthcare Vision has processed your claim, you will receive payment for
                   Benefits that the Plan allows. It is your responsibility to pay the non-Network provider the
                   charges you incurred, including any difference between what you were billed and what the
                   Plan paid.

                   Examination of Covered Persons
                   In the event of a question or dispute concerning coverage for vision Services,
                   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)

                   You may receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) after processing the claim. The EOB
                   will let you know if there is any portion of the claim you need to pay. If any claims are
                   denied in whole or in part, the EOB will include the reason for the denial or partial payment.
                   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.


                    Important
                    All claim forms must be submitted within 12 months after the date of service. Otherwise,
                    the Plan will not pay any Benefits for that Eligible Expense. This 12-month requirement
                    does not apply if you are legally incapacitated.

                   Claim Denials and Appeals

                   If Your Claim is Denied
                   If a claim for Benefits is denied in part or in whole, you may call UnitedHealthcare Vision
                   before requesting a formal appeal. If UnitedHealthcare Vision cannot resolve the issue to
                   your satisfaction over the phone, a representative can provide you with the appropriate
                   address to submit a written complaint. UnitedHealthcare Vision will notify you of its
                   decision regarding your complaint within 30 days of receiving it.

                   How to Appeal a Denied Claim
                   If you disagree with UnitedHealthcare Vision's decision after having submitted a written
                   complaint, you can ask UnitedHealthcare Vision in writing to formally reconsider your
                   complaint. If your complaint relates to a claim for payment, your request should include:
