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