Vision Discount Plan
Effective July 1, 2026, Weber State University will be transitioning our dental and vision insurance administration to Ameritas. This means increased flexibility for vision care; while EMI provided access strictly through VSP, Ameritas allows you to choose between two major networks: VSP or EyeMed.
If you are happy with your current coverage type, you will be automatically mapped to the equivalent Ameritas plan, which will go into effect July 1. If you'd like to make changes to your coverage, you can do so during open enrollment, April 13 - May 8.
More information will be added to this page about the EyeMed network soon.
EMI Health administers the Weber State University vision insurance program, underwritten by VSP Vision Care.
Eye exams are covered by PEHP Health.
