Overview

Vision coverage is offered to salaried employees and their families in GE Health Choice. Coverage level and covered family members must match GE medical coverage.

What's Covered?

The plan offers an annual vision allowance for materials (eye glass frames, lenses and/or contacts) for each individual covered by the benefit.  Employees and family members must be enrolled in a GE medical care option to be available for vision coverage.  Vision Plan expenses do not count towards your annual medical deductible and co-insurance maximum.
 
Warby Parker is an in-network provider for GE members.  Use your $200 allowance for glasses or prescription sunglasses, either online or at any of Warby Parker’s retail locations.  Glasses start at $95.  Plan savings, pricing and Davis Vision's breakage warranty do not apply, however, Warby Parker has a one-year no-scratch lens guarantee and 30-day no-questions-asked return or exchange policy.

GE Vision Plan - Materials Benefit
