Vision Coverage
Aetna Vision
EAB partners with Aetna as our vision carrier. You have the option of using an in-network or out-of-network provider each time you obtain vision services, but a higher level of benefits will be received if you go to an in-network provider. You will receive an ID card from Aetna for the Vision plan once enrolled.
Our plans allow domestic partners on eligible Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance and Supplementary benefits. Review the Qualifying Life Events page to download the required affidavit that should be submitted to benefits@eab.com.
