The young man who helped me pick out glasses is very helpful but needs more experience. He was unsure of what my insurance availed me, and called 3 times after my appointment to tell me about things he’d missed and also tell me my insurance only covered one set of eyeglasses. I had to email him my plan coverage just to prove it covered 2. Had I not been aware, I would have been charged for an additional set of glasses that was actually covered on my insurance. Unsure if this was his fault or if he was going by something someone else in the office had told him, but either way, the fact that I had to Prove what my VSP coverage was concerns me. I miss Kathy who was there for many years. She was on top of all of it!
