Eyemed Plans and Your Dependents: What You Should Know

EyeMed plans can be purchased either by a company or an individual. As a vision insurance company, its terms will vary based on the policy coverage. If you have dependents, we’ll look at some of the most common questions about the plans and what they cover.

Does EyeMed cover all dependents?

No. In general, you’re more likely to get coverage for dependents if you have a plan through your employer. Illinois does not have a rule that EyeMed needs to cover dependents, so it’s important to check your plan for details.

What are some standard benefits for dependents on EyeMed?

Benefits will vary based on coverage, but you’re likely to get some coverage for eye exams, eyeglasses, contact lenses, and vision care products (e.g., eyedrops). In some cases, you might get full coverage, while others will have maximum limits and/or copays for each visit.

Is it easy to find information about my dependents through EyeMed?

It depends on what age they are. If they’re under 18, you should be able to see everything through the main portal. If you want to see information for a dependent over 18, you won’t have access to their account. It’s important to work out your communication with each dependent so everyone is on the same page.
