How you purchase eyewear with insurance may vary based on your plan or provider.

Your insurance plan design will determine how often you can get contacts or glasses. Generally, plans don’t cover both eyeglasses and contacts purchased in the same year.
Some Humana vision plans offer an allowance toward frames and lenses once every 12 months and frames once every 24 months from the last date of service. If you’re not purchasing eyeglasses, Humana vision plan members also have an allowance once every 12 months to buy contact lenses at participating providers.
