The Trust has an agreement with VSP (Vision Service Plan) to provide vision benefits to you and your eligible dependents. Under this agreement, you can use any provider you wish. However, if you use a VSP network doctor, you may receive higher benefits—and they automatically file claims for you.

• Find a VSP network doctor with the VSP Provider Directory. You’ll need a user ID and password to logon to this site. If you don’t have a VSP user ID and password, you can register on the VSP site. Or call VSP directly at
  (800) 877-7195.
• Find the details of your vision coverage in your Summary Plan Description booklet (choose the link below based on whether you are in the “Sound” or “SoundPlus” plan). To determine whether you are covered under the “Sound” or “SoundPlus” plan, look at the front of your Sound Health & Wellness Trust ID card. It is printed on the far left-hand side under the Trust logo.
