Why choose SafeGuard Vision?
For more than 30 years, SafeGuard has provided vision benefits to people
like you. SafeGuard’s network of vision care providers are required to meet
high standards set by SafeGuard, the State of California and the vision care
industry. We check each provider’s background and licenses before they
take part in the SafeGuard program and we recheck every three (3) years. At
SafeGuard, our members are our first priority.
How the Plan Works
• The plan provides a benefit toward an eye exam, new lenses and new
frames or contact lenses once a year. SafeGuard has a vision network
of many eye care providers in California.
• This network includes providers at many of the locations you visit
regularly like Walmart, Target, Sears, and JC Penney.
• You do not have to select a provider at enrollment. To make an
appointment, just call the vision care provider of your choice and let
them know you have SafeGuard vision coverage. You may also see a
vision care provider that is not in the SafeGuard network, although the
amount you pay for your care may be higher.
• If you receive care from a non-network provider, you will have to file
a claim with SafeGuard. See Schedule of Benefits for details. You are
responsible for the charges above the reimbursement amount.
Full plan information is included in your Schedule of Benefits, and Customer
Services Representatives are available to help with your questions.
