Vision
Schneider Electric offers you a vision plan, administered by Spectera, that provides coverage for a vision exam, as well as corrective lenses and frames, each year. If you choose to enroll in the vision plan, you pay 100% of the cost of coverage.
The vision plan features a network of participating providers, and you pay less when you use an in-network vision care provider. You can go out-of-network and then get reimbursed for up to the allowance amount.
See the chart below for a summary of the vision plan coverage.
| Plan provision* | In-network | Out-of-network |
| Frequency of coverage | Exam, lenses, and frames once every calendar year (resetting in January of every year) | |
| You pay copayments / Plan pays up to the allowance below, you pay the rest | ||
| Exams | $10 copayment | Up to $60 allowance |
| Lenses | $25 copayment | $50 to $90 allowance depending on lens type |
| Frames | $175 frame allowance | Up to $70 allowance |
| Contacts (in lieu of frames and lenses) | $25 copayment; $175 allowance | Up to $175 allowance |
* Coverage allows for one pair of eyeglasses or contacts each year, but not both.
