PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
On June 25, 2024, the Board approved agreement number 24-086.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Vision Service Plan (VSP) has been providing vision insurance to County employees since 2016, offering high-quality, cost-effective care through a large network of providers. Employees may also choose out-of-network providers at a higher out-of-pocket cost.
In 2025, the County entered into a contract with VSP that included both core vision benefits and an optional "buy-up" plan, allowing employees to enhance their coverage at their own expense. These plan options remain unchanged and continue to be available to employees.
The final contract from VSP for the 2026-2027 plan years was received in March 2026. As a result, the Agreement is retroactive to ensure there is no disruption in coverage. This Agreement continues with the same core and buy-up plan structure currently in place for employees and their eligible dependents.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Return to staff with further direction.
