Find a Provider

If you do not have a VSP doctor, you can find one by:

Checking the list; or
Using the online directory service; or
Calling 1-800-877-7195

VSP's member service center offers two ways to find a doctor near your home or office -- member service or automated telephone system. To speak to a member service representative, call between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday. Use your telephone keypad after hours and on weekends to verify your coverage or locate a doctor.

Set an Appointment with your VSP Doctor

Once you've found a doctor, call the office to make an appointment. Provide the following:

Your name and that you're a VSP member
Your VSP member group or employer
Your Social Security number
Your date of birth

If you are making an appointment for a dependent, provide the member's name, member's social security number and dependent's date of birth. Your doctor will obtain authorization for services. If you are not eligible, the doctor will notify you.

Keep your scheduled appointment and make any co-payments. You are responsible for additional costs from cosmetic options or non-covered services.

Out-of Network Providers

Although more than 90% of VSP patients receive care from VSP doctors, you have the option of seeing an out-of-network provider. For out-of-network reimbursement, pay the entire bill when you receive services, then send the following information to VSP:

	»	An itemized receipt listing the services you received
	»	The name, address and phone number of the out-of-network provider
	»	The covered member's Social Security number or member identification number
	»	The covered member's name, phone number and address
	»	The name of the group
	»	The patient's name, date of birth, phone number and address
	»	The patient's relationship to the covered member (such as self, spouse, child, student, etc.)

Out-of-Network Claims

Claims must be submitted to VSP within six months from your date of service. Please keep a copy of the information for your records and send the originals to the following address:
