Vision Coverage

Vision coverage through Anthem Blue View Vision is included with your enrollment in an IU-sponsored medical plan, but vision services have their own schedule of benefits and network providers separate from your medical plan. Additionally, amounts paid for vision services do not apply to your medical plan deductible, coinsurance, or out-of-pocket maximum.
