Vision
FAQ
Q. What is the vision benefit? Does it include
eye examinations? Does it include contact lenses?
A. The vision benefit offers 20% to 60% discounts on eyewear
and eye care at more than 12,500 optical locations throughout
the United States. Providers include national optical
chains such as LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, EyeMasters,
J.C. Penney, and Sears as well as regional chains and
thousands of independent practitioners. Often many participating
locations offer discounts of 10% on eye exams for both
eye glasses and contact lenses. Additionally, the ophthalmology
portion of the network offers 10% to 30% discounts on
eye exams and surgical procedures, including the popular
laser surgeries in select markets.
On average, members receive a 20% discount
on replacement contact lenses (excluding disposable
lenses) and non-prescription sunglasses at retail locations.
Members may elect to use the mail order service to purchase
replacement contact lenses (including disposables) at
a 20% to 50% discount.
Q. Is the Coast To Coast (CTC) discount plan
insurance?
A. No. While an insured plan is available, CTC is a
discount eyewear and eye care program. There are no
claim forms or reimbursement procedures. The participating
retail optical locations will give the discount at the
time of the purchase.
Q. Can members use CTC if they already have
vision insurance?
A. Yes. In most cases CTC can be utilized to eliminate
or reduce the deductible. Once the insurance benefit
has been exhausted, members may use their discount to
buy additional pairs of glasses or contacts.
Q. Is there a limit on the number of times
the benefit can be used?
A. There is no limit on the number of times the member
or family member can take advantage of the savings provided
by CTC.
Q. Does the CTC discount plan cover family
members?
A. It covers the member, their spouse and all legal
dependents.
Q. What is covered with CTC membership?
A. Prescription glasses, non-prescription & prescription
sunglasses, and contact lenses are discounted 20% -
60% in most cases. Eye exams and surgery are discounted
10% to 30% where available.
Q. Why does the discount vary from 10%-60%?
A. Many variables go into the calculation of the discount
such as market demographics, location, hours of operation,
one-hour service capability and level of retail mark-up.
Example - a chain provider in a major metropolitan
mall, open seven days a week, 10 hours a day with an
on-site lab, will more than likely have a different
mark-up than an independent practitioner in a rural
community. However, members will pay almost exactly
the same price for the exact same materials regardless
of where the purchase is made. Only the percentage of
discount off retail may vary.
Q. Can members receive the discount at any
optical location?
A. No. Members must go to an optical location that is
contracted with Coast to Coast Vision to receive a discount.
Our providers include national, regional and local chains
as well as thousands of independent professionals.
Q. What is a dispensing fee?
A. The dispensing fee is the amount of money that is
added to the provider's wholesale acquisition cost of
materials. It is generally the only profit made by the
provider on a purchase.
Q. Is the eye exam discounted?
A. Yes, at approximately 4,000 of our 12,500 locations
nationwide. Our member service representatives can provide
the member with the locations that discount eye exams.
Q. How does the benefit work?
A. Members should call the toll-free number located
on the membership card to locate an optical provider
in their area. To receive the discount, the member must
show the provider the membership card and identify his/herself
as a member of the Coast to Coast Vision Plan to receive
the discount.
Q. Do members receive a discount if the store
is running a sale?
A. The location will not combine our contracted discount
with the sale price. However, in most cases, the Coast
to Coast price will be better than the sale price.
Q. Do the retail locations mark up the merchandise
to give the discount?
A. No. Members receive the discount because CTC brings
the buying power of over 9 million members to the optical
retailers participating in the plan.
Q. How do members nominate their doctor or
optician for the Coast To Coast plan?
A. To refer a doctor to the Coast to Coast Plan, the
member must provide his/her name, address and phone
number and we will contact him/her about becoming a
provider. If the practitioner does not wish to join
the plan, the member may still use him/her for their
eye exam. Simply take the prescription to one of our
participating providers to receive a discount on glasses
or contact lenses.
Q. Can members purchase disposable contact
lenses at a discount through a participating optical
center?
A. No. Disposable lenses are generally priced as "loss
leaders" at the retail stores. However, members
can use the mail order contact lens program to receive
discounts when ordering disposable lenses.
Q. What if a members contact lenses are destroyed
while they are on vacation?
A. Simply call the toll-free number on the back of the
membership card. The patient registration keeps the
prescription on file until it expires and we can send
the replacements overnight to almost anywhere in the
world.
