Learn about your vision provider - VSP
As we gear up for the FY26 plan year, we would like to showcase our vision provider:
VSP. Below is some information on the benefits provided to employees enrolled in a
UA vision plan with VSP.

How to check your coverage / get a VSP Card
If you are enrolled in the Vision plan with UA, your vision coverage is with VSP.
If you are not sure if you have vision , you can login to and confirm under the "Benefits" on the employee dashboard. VSP does not provide
cards and you will not receive a card in the mail. You may log into your VSP account
and print a card to take with you to your appointment, but that is not required. Simply
use your UA ID with a zero in front (for both yourself and any dependents you cover).
