Discovery KeyCare Plus Optometrist Benefits

With Discovery KeyCare Plus Optometrist Benefits, you have access to essential eye care services, ensuring you can manage your vision needs affordably and conveniently. Here’s everything covered in detail, including specific costs, limitations, and network requirements.

1. Eye Test

Each KeyCare Plus member is eligible for:

  • One eye test per person every two benefit years (24 months from the last test date) at any KeyCare Network optometrist. This test is crucial for keeping your prescription current and addressing any changes in your vision.

2. Lenses and Frames

Your plan includes:

  • One pair of clear lenses—available in single vision, bifocal, or multifocal options based on your prescription.
  • If you prefer contact lenses, the plan covers a set of basic clear contact lenses (without added colours, tints, or special designs). These provide a straightforward solution for basic vision correction.

The lenses and contact lenses must be obtained through a KeyCare Network optometrist to be covered by the plan.

3. Network Requirement

To use these benefits without extra charges, you must visit an optometrist in the KeyCare Optometry Network. This is crucial, as any services from non-network providers are not covered under KeyCare Plus.

4. Frequency and Eligibility

  • Benefit Frequency: Both the eye test and lens benefits renew every 24 months, so once used, you’ll need to wait two years for them to become available again.
  • Network Compliance: To avoid out-of-pocket costs, always use a KeyCare Network provider, as services from out-of-network optometrists are not covered.

Additional Value-Added Services (Excluded from KeyCare)

Although KeyCare Plus doesn’t include discounts on eyewear, some Discovery plans do. For example, other Discovery plans offer 20% off frames and lenses when purchased from Optometry Network providers, with the discount applied instantly at the point of sale. However, this discount does not apply to KeyCare plans, including KeyCare Plus.

The Discovery KeyCare Plus Optometrist Benefits keep your vision care simple and cost-effective by covering essential eye tests and basic lenses at network providers.
