You may be aware that Lasik vision correction is not typically a covered service under a health or vision plan.  But that doesn’t mean you have to go it alone.  If you are covered under the News Corp Aetna Vision Plan you have access to a discount of 15% off of standard pricing or 5% off of promotional pricing for Lasik and PRK procedures.  This discount is available at more than 600 U.S. Laser Network locations across the country.

LasikPlus is the featured network provider and offers members additional benefits. Call 1-800-422-6600 or visit www.lasikdiscounts.com for more details.

To learn more about your vision benefits log on to AetnaVision.com and register for an account.  Or if you are already registered under Aetna.com for medical you may ‘single sign on’ to the Aetna Vision site by logging in to Aetna.com and selecting “Coverage & Benefits”.  From there select the Vision block and again select  “Access your Aetna Vision Preferred account”.  This will log you directly into the AetnaVision website.

Also don’t forget for the costs that you do have to pay – Lasik is eligible for both Medical Flexible Spending accounts as well as Health Savings Accounts which can amount to another 25% – 35% off the cost of the service.
