Vision Insurance
Anthem Blue Cross | PPO
BICS provides vision coverage through Anthem Blue Cross. You can see an Anthem Blue Cross 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 copayment 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.
