Medical Eye Services Vision Plan (MES)

Medical Eye Services (MES) provides a vision coverage option for employees represented by SEIU and LIUNA and employees in the RSA Public Safety Unit. You may choose from two plans: Plan 1—With Eye Exam and Eyewear or Plan 2—Eyewear Only. Both plans have no deductible and include discounts for contact lenses. Both MES plans allow you to choose care from in-network or out-of-network providers. When you receive care from in-network providers, the plan pays higher benefits and your out-of-pocket costs are lower.
