Introducing Personal VisionBlue

Great news! BlueCross members with the following policies can now add the VisionBlue plan to their individual BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee coverage:

• Personal Health Coverage
• SimplyBlue
• PersonalDental
• PersonalBlue
• BluePreferred

Personal VisionBlue offers two plans:

Vision Exam plus Materials

• Eye exam and materials for each member covered under the plan.
• A $10 copay for an eye exam and a $25 copay for eyeglass lenses (when a network provider is used).
• A $100 allowance for frames or contact lenses (when a network provider is used).
• Out-of-network allowances are available, but are not as large as when the network is used. Additional discounts on lens options and non-covered items are also available from network providers.

Vision Exam Only

• Routine vision exam for each member covered under the plan every 12 months for a $10 copay from network providers.
• Other services, such as the purchase of glasses and contacts, receive discounted pricing when a network provider is used. Additional discounts are also available from network providers.

The VisionBlue network helps Tennesseans access quality, convenient vision care. Our plans offer the best of both worlds – thousands of private practice providers along with the nation's most respected optical retail brands. With 25 percent of customers making optical purchases on the weekend, convenience is an important part of a vision network.
