Hello all, green bean here.
I was officially eligible to use my insurance benefits on February 1st. I went to my local glasses shop for an exam and to pick out my glasses, and the receptionist was told me she couldn’t find my insurance because VSP does things not hold records with your Social Security and Birthday, but by a member I.D. number. I have an account on the VSP website, on which I can view my account, benefits, and membership card, but nowhere is this “member I.D. number” able to be found. Does anyone have any advice or stories similar to this?
