Using Your Blue View Plus Plan
Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance Company understands that vision benefits are essential to maintaining your overall health and wellness, and we are committed to your vision care. Through your Blue View plan, not only do you have access to 4,500 providers and provider locations (including a market-leading number of independent ophthalmologists and optometrists), but you also get the convenience of LensCraftersSM,Target Optical, Sears Optical, and most Pearle Vision stores. Many of the providers are open in the evenings and on weekends, so you have the flexibility to schedule an appointment that allows you less time away from work.
Members can save with their covered benefit and long after their benefits have been exhausted. Members will enjoy a 20% discount off any remaining balance for frames purchased over the frame allowance. And they can save 15 to 40% on non-covered materials such as additional pairs of glasses, conventional contact lenses, lens treatments, some non-prescription sunglasses and other accessory items. Members can access this savings from any participating provider as often as they choose.
You simply choose a Blue View Vision network eye care provider, make an appointment, present your membership card, pay your eye examination copayment and any remaining balance. The provider will verify your eligibility and take care of all the necessary paperwork. To select an eye care provider or location, you can access the Provider Directory on www.anthem.com/ca or call Customer Service at (866) 723-0515.
