Vision Insurance


Caring for your eyes is a very important part of your overall health and wellness. That's why the University of West Florida offers you competitive vision coverage at affordable rates through Humana Vision. 

Vision insurance is an additional insurance to cover eye care related expenses not covered by basic health insurance. These expenses may include comprehensive eye health examinations, annual contact lens allowances, wholesale pricing on frames, and discounts on Lasik and PRK procedures. Keep in mind that you may have some coverage of vision services available under your health plan.

The plan documents can be found on the MyBenefits Vision Insurance site and can provide additional information, to include monthly premiums, out-of-pocket costs and answers to specific questions you may have about coverage.


Eligibility

Vision insurance is available to all benefit-eligible employees (including eligible OPS employees). Employees pay the full premium amount on a pre-tax basis and have 60 days from their date of hire to enroll. Plan changes are only allowed during the annual open enrollment or as a result of an approved qualifying status change.

How to Enroll

  • Complete vision insurance enrollment with People First.
  • Submit a confirmation statement to the Human Resources Benefits Section to ensure proper setup of payroll deductions. You may send these by email to hr@uwf.edu or by Campus Mail to HR in Building 20E, Room 117.
