Simplify with VSP Ophthalmic Product Formulary Update

The changes include:

• New Lens Enhancement Codes
  • A new Blue Light Filtering Lens Enhancement Code to be used for lenses with blue light filtering technology embedded directly into the lens.  
    • Lens enhancement code is not for use with Blue Light Filtering Anti-reflective Coatings
  • New High Index 1.70 Lens and Above Enhancement Codes to accommodate lenses that have been released over the past few years. The lens enhancement chart will be updated to include:
    • Near Variable Focus High Index 1.70 & Above
    • Polarized High Index 1.70 & Above
    • Multifocal Aspheric/Spherical High Index 1.70 & Above
      • Add Multifocal fee to existing High Index lens enhancement code (AJ)
• Polycarbonate Lenses: Adult members will have the same copay that applies to either single vision (SV) or multifocal (MF) polycarbonate lenses.
  • Polycarbonate for Kids is not impacted.
• Anti-Reflective Coatings: VSP is moving from four anti-reflective (AR) coating categories to three categories. The mid-tier AR category B will be merged into category C, creating a single mid-tier category to reduce redundancies and align technology.

VSP regularly reviews its ophthalmic product formulary to ensure it evolves to remain relevant and competitive and reflects industry standards, while allowing VSP members to maximize their benefits at a network practice, like yours.
