Vision

Vision Service Plan (VSP) provides the administration of vision benefits and claims on behalf of the CSU Vision Plan. Eligible CSU employees and their dependents are automatically enrolled in the CSU Basic Vision Plan at no cost; however, the CSU offers a voluntary CSU Premier Vision Plan with a monthly premium. To compare the two plans side by side, review the 2024 Vision Summary (PDF) to view copays, and benefit differences.

Accessing Services

Create a VSP Member Account to view upcoming appointments, benefits coverage, claims, and reimbursements.
A vision card will not be provided by VSP for the Basic or Premier plan. To seek services, provide the optometrist's office with your social security number, birthday, and Vision Group Number.
By choosing a participating VSP Network Doctor, the insurance will cover more out-of-pocket costs.
Services that are provided by a non-VSP provider will be paid in full by the employee and a VSP Out-of-Network Claim will need to be submitted for reimbursement.
Computer Vision Care is available to employees only who are eligible members prescribed vision therapy specific to computer use. The VSP Computer Vision Glasses Form (PDF) must be completed by the employee and provided to a VSP Network Doctor to receive the supplemental computer vision care benefit.
