      Date of transaction: started Aug 19, 2020.Total of over ****** since that month at $30.** per month. The company provides a vision service plan. I signed up after being laid off from my company as a driver during the Covid-19 pandemic. I was aware there would be a 1-year service agreement and agreed since I need my vision to see adequately so this is considered a necessity in my book. I returned to my company at the end of 2020 and continued paying as I'd previously agreed. When time for my renewal the following August 2021 I reached out to the company July 20, 2021 to cancel considering I was now back on Parish benefits or to some may be called a County. I spoke with a representative but the name of ******************************* she assured the benefits will be processed for cancellation instead of renenwal. I went on about my day and life. Lost a few family members, tragedy after tragedy and noticed recently my bank account has continued to be drafted 30.** per month by VSP! So of course I called. I was advised by this rep oh no you can't cancel you are in a one year service agreement. I felt as if I were in the twilight zone. This repetition of me calling, attempting to cancel and gone on for years. I have not used the benefits, I continue to pay and every year they change my renewal date to a new year and it seems as if I just started less than a year ago. Now if that isn't some shady business practice I don't know what to call it. But it's the most clever thing I've ever seen and VSP has master defrauding the elderly.

      I have a few issues with VSP and my first one is that they misrepresent their benefits on their website. They do not clearly list anywhere online what their out of network benefits in each category are and, when I spoke with a representative over the phone, they told me that I am hardly the first person to call and complain. They offered to MAIL me explanations.My next issue is this, my out of network frame allowance was $55 reimbursement for a $525 frame, and my lenses they paid $45 and charged me a $20 co-pay for $665 lenses + coatings. $100 for a whole years worth of vision care seems criminal to me. The very least the could do is list clearly on their website how little true options they give beyond their preferential providers, and how little they actually give back. I can understand contact suppliers having preferential treatment, when the product is the same regardless of who is selling it, but people should be able to choose their frames and lenses with a reasonable dollar amount expected. For example, I could have received $175 for contacts but their website said $200 frame allowance and there was no out of network dollar amount listed. Its intentionally misleading and they know it.

      I am rejecting this response because:

       

      While I appreciate VSP sending an additional $100 check to meet a number closer to their listed benefit price, I still do not feel that it is appropriate to ignore the request of their clients for out of network information to be posted clearly on their website. It isnt complicated information, the operators knew it, and the issue has clearly been raised before by other customers. I understand that VSP would PREFER their customers to use in-network providers, but it is inappropriate to leave out-of-network information off of their benefits list on their website. Customers deserve to know without digging through files or waiting on hold for an operator.

      This company offered a rebate for the purchase of a certain brand of an eyeglass frame. The rebate request was submitted in November 2022 with the understanding that the $100.00 rebate would be received in 6-8 weeks. I've called and spoken with customer ********************** at least 2 times (Jan and Feb 2023). The response is always the same, "You qualify for a rebate, and it is being processed; expect to receive it in **** days". I feel they are not dealing with this issue in good faith and should either refund the costs of the frames or issue a rebate.

      My son, ********************************* has been waiting since December for his eyeglass's prescription. A prescription that I was told and normally takes 2-3 weeks is going on 2 months. I've been advised that they have had to start his prescription over multiple times. When I asked Clear View Optometer who is the lab, they advised they use the insurance lap due to the prescription. And the VSP lab in question right now is the one located in *************. VSP has continued to show little regard and a lot of carelessness for the need of my son's vision and glasses.

      12/2022, I called VSP and upgraded my plan for 2023. I stayed on the line with a supervisor for over 2 hours and come 1/2023 my plan was still not upgraded. It took 2 days to call VSP and get transferred and hung up on constantly. To finally get a supervisor to say he was going to stay on the line with me but I guess only until it was time for him to get off because he was off the line once Billing picked up the line. Now I was told once 24 hours was to take place all the updates was to take place. Here I am today scheduled for an eye exam tomorrow 1/28/23 & my plan have not been upgraded as I requested. but they have removed my son and added my husband. Really? How have this change happen without the entire changes I requested made. This is awful for VSP and now I call customer ********************** to be placed on hold and transferred over 28 mins spoke to ******** and hung up on by **** after 28 minutes and 38seconds because I requested a supervisor.

I have been on the phone with VSP on two separate occasions Jan 19, 2023 and Jan 24 , 2023 and the phone calls on both occasions would transferred and I would wait quite a while, they had a message they were working on my problem and then they would drop the call and nothing was resolved. I want VSP to CANCEL my insurance plan!

      I am a VSP service plan member. According to my plan, I am entitled to a $140 reimbursement each year for the purchase of contact lenses. On 30 Nov 2022 I purchased lenses through my provider, ******* Ophthalmology. I submitted a completed reimbursement form and my purchase receipt to VSP (**********, **). On 6 Jan 2023 I logged on to the VSP website and my patient portal to check the status of my reimbursement. My Benefit History 2022 said Nov 30, you purchased contact lenses. Status: Call Customer **********************. I called, and was told that VSP is behind in processing refunds and to wait another week. I called again on 17 Jan and was told that VSP has no record of my submitting a claim (despite the fact that the claim appears in my patient portal on their website.) I sent an email requesting help to Member Services, who told me to call Customer ********************** again! I filed a Grievance Form on the VSP website, and the auto-reply said, someone will respond within 5 business days. This companys customer ********************** is a disaster. Is denying reimbursements to which customers are clearly entitled part of their business model?

      VSP states that I have not filed a reimbursement claim, yet their own website, under my Benefits History 2022, states that

       

      on November 30, 2022 I had an out-of-network service,

      that I purchased contacts from ******* Ophthamology.

       

      They have this information only because they received and entered my claim into their system.  There is no other way this information could have found its way into the VSP system, as the service I received was out-of-network.

      Dear *************************:

      I am following up on a grievance dated January 20, 2023 that was forwarded to VSPs Complaints and Grievances Unit from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving Northeast ********** regarding the difficulty ************************ is experiencing trying to receive reimbursement for his contact lenses on November 30, 2022.

      On behalf of our organization, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience ************************ experienced because of this situation.

      After researching Mr. *********** concerns about his claim, it was determined we are experiencing a system issue and I do not have access to his claim. I reported the issue to the appropriate department and do not have a timeline as to when this will be resolved.

      To expedite the processing of Mr. *********** claim, I would be happy to forward his claim information to the ***************** for processing on his behalf if he sends me a copy of his itemized receipt and claim form. I will be sending a letter to ************************ with the information above. I will also provide my contact information so I can assist him with the claim.

      Please feel free to contact me at ************** if you have any other questions. My office hours are Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Pacific Time.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.  Youve been great to work with!

      After months of back and forth, VSP has finally admitted that the problem is on their end, not mine.  Their proposed solution, however, is that I start again from square one and, what, just hope they get it right next time? All this nonsense over a $105 reimbursement.  No thanks. Im done with VSP and will waste no more time on this process.

      Again, my thanks to you and BBB!

      Set up a vision plan through VSP effective date 6/1/2018. Member ID ************** work now provides a vision plan and I want to cancel VSP. Called once last month and was told that I would have to go through some third party and have them put in request for cancellation. ***************** or something similar. Ive only dealt with VSP so I dont know where they are coming up with this. Their website refuses to recognize account information so logging in to try and cancel doesnt seem an option.

      Dear *************************:

      I am writing in response to a grievance that VSPs Complaint & Grievances Team received on January 9, 2023 regarding the member listed below.

      Member Name: ***************************
      Member ID Number: ***********

      Our records show ******************** has a VSP plan through Healthy Vision Association with Member Only coverage that became effective June 1, 2018.

      Please note that policies are auto-renewable, and members have the option to cancel, however, it will automatically renew so long as premiums are paid in a timely manner, and we are not contacted that they do not wish to renew. A renewal letter is sent on or around 60 days prior to their auto-renewal.

      Per the terms of the contract, if cancellation is not requested prior to renewal, the member is enrolled for the full year and premiums are owed. They will be eligible for cancellation again 60 days prior to the next auto-renewal date.

      However, as a gesture of goodwill, we have cancelled Ms. ********* plan effective June 1, 2022, and have refunded eight premium payments in the amount of $32.72 each back to the payment account on file.

      If ******************** has any additional questions about her cancellation or status of her refund, they will need to contact our VSP Individual Plan team at **************, Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Central Time. Select option 1 and then option 3 on the automated system to reach an appropriate representative that can assist her.

      Please feel free to contact me at ************ if you have any other questions. My office hours are Monday through Friday from 5:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Pacific Time.

      Sincerely,


      ***************************
