Vision

Your vision coverage is through Anthem Blue View Vision and is included when you enroll in an IU-sponsored medical plan. You cannot enroll in vision coverage separately.

Vision services have a separate schedule of benefits, network providers, and costs. Expenses for vision services do not count toward your medical plan deductible, coinsurance, or out-of-pocket maximum.

Your vision benefits

• Routine eye exams: You can get an eye exam every 12 months for a $10 copay.
• Frames, lenses, and contacts: You have specific allowances and copays for in-network providers. Check out the 2025 Vision Benefit Summary for details.

3. Enter your zip code or city and state
4. Search for “Vision”

ID card: You don’t need a separate vision ID card. Simply show your Anthem medical ID card to your vision provider. You can find your card anytime, anywhere by logging in to anthem.com or the Sydney Health app.

When using an out-of-network provider

Using an out-of-network provider typically results in higher costs. You’ll need to submit a claim form to Anthem for reimbursement.
