Vision Plan

Blue Shield | Vision Plan
Optima Tax Relief provides vision coverage through Blue Shield. You can see an Blue Shield in-network provider or
an out-of-network provider, however, your costs will be lower if you visit an in-network provider. If you visit an in-
network provider you will be responsible for a copay at the time of your service. If you receive services from an out
-of-network doctor, you will pay all costs at the time of service and submit a claim for reimbursement.
