How does the plan coordinate benefits with other vision plans?
Coordination of benefits is determined by the “birthday rule” when dependents are enrolled in more than one vision plan. The employee is always primary under the employer’s plan, but dependent children will have primary coverage under the plan of the parent whose birthday occurs first in the calendar year. CVC will reimburse out-of-pocket charges remaining after the primary plan has paid benefits to the extent that they are covered under CVC’s schedule of benefits.
