Employee Coverage : Employees who require the use of medically prescribed glasses to perform their primary work tasks, and whose primary work requires the use of safety eye wear by Department policy and/or CalOSHA regulations. If you or your employees have any questions regarding employee eligibility and coverage, please direct them to your primary BU safety representative:
Call VSP’s Member Services Department at 800-877-7195. The VSP attendant will help you locate a provider by zip code, or can verify your eligibility. *Request a “Safety Eye Wear Provider” to obtain a wider selection of frames, etc. Visit www.vsp.com and simply sign on from the VSP homepage by entering the covered member’s ID to begin your search. You search for a doctor by name or location.

Please come and hear Morecraft’s story, and see how you can benefit from his mistake. Here is the schedule:
