    How Your Vision Care Program Works: 

    Eligible members and dependents are entitled to receive:
    • vision examination - once every calendar year 
    • one (1) pair of lenses - once every calendar year 
    • frames - once every two calendar years 
    • contact lenses and contact lens evaluation/fitting - once every calendar year.
    For your convenience, at the start of the program, you will receive two identification cards with participating providers in your zip code area listed on the back. At the time of your appointment, simply present your NVA identification card to the provider or indicate that your benefit is administered by NVA. The provider will contact NVA to verify eligibility. A vision claim form is not required at an NVA participating provider. Be sure to inform the provider of your medical history and any prescription or over-the counter (OTC) medications you may be taking.
     
    To verify your benefit eligibility prior to calling or visiting your eye care provider, please visit the NVA website at www.e-nva.com or contact NVA’s Customer Service Department toll-free at 1.800.672.7723 (TDD line 1-888-820-2990) or NVA’s Interactive Voice Response (IVR). Customer Service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Any question any time.

Enter group number 8846000001 or the group number on the identification card and enter in your search parameters. It’s that easy!

    Premium Deduction - All medical and dental insurance premiums will be deducted from your paycheck on a before-tax basis. Per IRS rules, you can only stop premiums during open enrollment, or if you have a qualifying event such as divorce, other coverage available, or emancipation. If you think you will want to stop insurance without having a qualifying event, you can opt-out of the before-tax deduction by contacting the Employee Benefits office and requesting the opt-out form. The opt-out form must be completed annually during open enrollment to continue the after-tax deduction.  3
     

    ALL PREMIUMS ARE PAID IN ADVANCE. Employees must request to stop coverage in writing via the online change form in the month(s) prior to the date of the qualifying event in order to stop the premium deduction.
