To: CSU Benefits Eligible Employees
Vision Service Plan (VSP) provides the administration of vision benefits and claims on behalf of the employer-paid California State University (CSU) Vision Plan.
Under VSP , the frequency of benefits is based on a calendar year perspective, and not on a rolling basis calculated from the last date of service. For example, if an employee has an eye exam in February 2008, he/she will be eligible for another eye exam on January 1, 2009, or thereafter.
Who Is VSP?
Founded in 1955, VSP is dedicated solely to providing eyecare wellness benefits through an exclusive network of independent eye doctors. These independent eye doctors are an important component of VSP’s focus on eye health, diseases and conditions, and are grouped in the VSP Select Network, which has approximately 17,000 providers.

Under VSP, the following vision benefits are available to eligible CSU employees:
- In-network frame allowance - $95.00;
- Out-of-network frame allowance - $60.00;
