I have VSP coverage by my company, I believe it is one of the largest vision insurers in America.
However, they seem to get a lot of hate. The stores which don't accept VSP seem to have the attitude of "well of course we don't accept that ****!", and as it happens, most of the higher-end frame shops do not accept it. Typically someone who accepts it will be one of those Luxxotica full line places. Chanel, Gucci, Nike, brands I don't want.
Is there something wrong with VSP? Someone mentioned to me that VSP stores typically upcharge by about $100.00 - is this true?
I have quite a bit of coverage from them, I believe there is a $200 frame allowance and $150 lens allowance. Would you go out of your way (and spend more $$) to avoid a VSP provider?
