The DEA has instituted a new optical program for active members.
Davis Vision is the exclusive optical provider for active DEA members and their dependents.
The Davis Vision Optical Plan provides DEA active members with uniformity and a wide selection of "up-to-date" progressive prescription eyewear which is available at each of the optical centers in the extensive Davis Vision network of independent providers. Many designer frames for children are available through this plan as well.
Effective January 1, 2010 members have the opportunity to select ANY frame in the Davis Vision Collection which includes Fashion, Designer and Premier frames with retail values up to $225.
The DEA's goal is to deliver a plan that drastically reduces (or eliminates altogether) the high member out-of-pocket costs associated with current state of the art eyewear as well as comprehensive eye examinations.
The plan offers a thorough eye exam and a pair of glasses to members and their dependents once every 12 months.
Effective January 1, 2010 there are no co-payments required for plan contact lenses and the supply has been increased to one full year for disposable contact lenses. The benefit allowance for non-plan contact lenses has also been increased to a $60 credit at all in-network providers.
In order to provide additional convenience for our members, eligibility will be determined electronically, thereby eliminating the need for DEA-issued vouchers. Simply provide your participating Davis Vision provider with your unique DEA identification number located on your DEA Vision Benefit Card. The plan also features a one year guarantee for broken frames, and other benefits as well.
Any questions can be answered by contacting the DEA Health Benefits Office at (212) 587-9120, or by calling Davis Vision directly at 1 (800) 999-5431…
