• Co Pay- This is how much your insurance requires you to pay. You may have a co pay for the eye exam, two co pays (one for the exam and one for materials) or none at all.
• Eye Glass Frame Allowance- This is an amount of money that you may have available to purchase frames. If you choose a frame that is less than or equal to this amount you may pay nothing out of pocket, but if you choose a frame that is more than this allowed amount you will have to pay the difference out of pocket.
• Contact Allowance- This is very similar to eye glass frames except that you may have an allowance for contacts on your insurance.
• Rx Lens Allowance- This is an allowance on certain insurance plans that allows you to spend up to a certain amount on your prescription lenses. Again if your lenses cost more than the allotted amount the difference will have to be paid out of pocket.
• Benefit Eligibility- This is essentially how often your insurance allows you to attain the benefits of your plan. Some plans require you wait for two years before using any allowances while others may only be one year.

Important Note: These items listed may or may not be included in your insurance plan. These are only things that your particular coverage could allow.
