Johns Hopkins EHP SuperiorVision members enjoy the option of getting their eye exams at the world-renowned Wilmer Eye Institute. Wilmer Optical is a full-service vision center, offering eye exams, specialized care and hundreds of optical frames. Wilmer has an agreement with SuperiorVision to provide routine eye exams as a covered In-Network service.
It is important for EHP SuperiorVision members to know that ONLY routine eye exams are included as a covered In-Network service. All other services and materials including, but not limited to, frames, lenses, contacts and contact lens fittings are considered Out-of-Network when seeing a Wilmer provider. Anything beyond a routine eye exam will be determined as Out-of-Network care. EHP members may take their prescription to a different In-Network provider to receive additional covered services beyond a routine exam.
Members who wear contact lenses should receive a service called “contact lens evaluation, fitting and follow-up,” also known as “contact lens fitting and evaluation.” This service is in addition to the routine eye exam and is coded and billed separately.
A contact lens evaluation, fitting and follow-up visit includes:
- Assessment of the eye and measurement of the eye surface for lens fitting.
- Trial lenses and education on how to use and maintain contact lenses.
- A follow-up visit, usually about a week later, to check the eyes and ensure the lenses fit well.
EHP SuperiorVision members should be aware that contact lens evaluation, fitting and follow-up is not payable under the comprehensive exam benefit, but is a separate benefit.
