To help you keep life in focus, MarketAxess offers you competitive vision coverage through Guardian to help pay for eye exams and vision correction.

2024 vision plan

The VSP Network Signature Plan includes benefits for eye exams, corrective lenses and frames, and contact lenses. You can see any vision provider, but you’ll minimize your out-of-pocket costs when you receive services from a VSP network provider. If you go out-of-network, you will have to pay for services upfront and receive reimbursement up to certain limits depending on the service

You can enroll in vision coverage as a new hire, during Open Enrollment, or if you have a qualifying life event. To enroll, log in to OKTA to access UKG.

Key features

Eye exam covered every year

with only a small copay charged to you.

Coverage for eyeglasses or contact lenses

so you can choose the method of vision correction you prefer.

Wide network of providers

saving you money with more generous in-network benefits.

How much does vision coverage cost?

You pay for vision coverage through pre-tax premiums from your paycheck. The amount you pay will depend on whether you cover just yourself or family members, too. To see your costs, log in to OKTA to access UKG.

Find a network provider

You can see any vision care provider you want, but you’ll save money and time by staying in VSP’s Signature network. If you go outside the network, you’ll need to pay for services upfront and then get reimbursed up to certain limits, depending on the service. Log in to Guardian's website to find an in-network provider near you, or you can search the VSP Signature network without logging in (click “Advanced Search,” then select “Signature” from the “Doctor Network” dropdown list).

Save money on vision costs

Use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Health Care FSA to pay for eligible vision expenses with tax-free dollars.
