Vision
UBT offers you and your family high-quality vision plans intended to meet your needs. When you enroll, you can choose from either of UBT’s visions plans (if you are eligible). Unlike the medical plans, there are no restrictions on your plan choices and you pay no premiums.
Choose from either of the UBT vision plans, both allow you the freedom to visit the licensed provider of your choice. But remember network availability varies by location and is an important feature of the plans. If you visit a provider that is not in the network, you will receive a lower level of benefits than with a network provider. See the Plan Booklet for additional information.
