All benefit-eligible employees can elect to enroll in the Vision Service Plan (VSP) vision plan.

This plan can supplement the Blue View Vision included with the Anthem medical plans or the Kaiser Vision Essentials with your Kaiser Permanente medical plan. Employees can also enroll in VSP without participating in a PWCS medical plan.

For additional details on your plan or to register your VSP account, call 1-800-877-7195 or visit the VSP website.
