Vision
Vision Service Plan (VSP) is included as part of the USC Network Medical Plan, but HMO participants may purchase it separately. All dependents covered under your medical plan must also be enrolled in VSP. Employees enrolled in an HMO must provide their social security number to the eye care provider when verifying eligibility. To find a provider, visit www.vsp.com.
