Limited Out-Of-Network Vision Benefits

Use of out-of-network providers limits your benefit coverage and can be accessed only once per plan year. For more information or for an out-of-network claim form, contact CEC at 888-254-4290 or CECVision.com/members/login. 

 

Children's Vision Benefits

Children up to the age of 13 who are enrolled in the CEC vision plan will be eligible for:

  • An additional eye exam each plan year
  • A new pair of glasses each plan year if their prescription changes by 0.5 diopter or greater (contacts not included) 

The second eye exam is covered in full with no copay. The second pair of glasses is covered up to the $250 eyewear allowance. 

Children’s eyesight can change quickly. This enhanced benefit ensures that children get the eye care they need.

 

Diabetes Program

Members with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes enrolled in a comprehensive CEC plan who undergo a medical exam are eligible for co-pay relief. The member simply submits a form to CEC and is reimbursed for the amount of the co-pay, up to $25.
