Short answer: Yes. GlassesUSA is in network with UnitedHealthcare (Spectera), Lincoln Financial Group and MediGold – your benefits apply at checkout. Members of VSP, EyeMed, Cigna, Davis Vision, Anthem, Aetna, NVA and Humana can still use their plans through out-of-network reimbursement. Other plans can’t be used there, but FSA and HSA cards can.

Everything here comes from GlassesUSA’s help center, checked November 2, 2026. Coverage depends on your own plan – check your benefits with your insurer before ordering.

Using in-network benefits

  1. Go to GlassesUSA’s vision insurance page and choose your carrier.
  2. Log in with your member ID (usually 9 digits, no spaces or dashes) and date of birth.
  3. Your eligibility and coverage appear, and the benefits stay linked to your account while you shop – they’re not a coupon code.
  4. Check out as usual.

If the login fails, GlassesUSA’s support team can’t see your insurer’s system – contact your insurance company to confirm how your details are stored.

Claiming out-of-network reimbursement

  1. On GlassesUSA’s insurance page, select your provider and download its claim form.
  2. Order and pay normally (an FSA/HSA card works too).
  3. Request an itemized receipt: type “itemized receipt” in GlassesUSA’s chat and enter your order number and email. A PDF arrives by email.
  4. Mail the receipt and the completed form to your insurer, marking the claim “Out of Network”.

The receipt lists your frame, lens type, material and coatings separately, but not your prescription values. GlassesUSA can’t change names or addresses on it after ordering, so check your checkout details match your insurance records. How much you get back depends on your plan’s out-of-network allowance – see how to use vision insurance online.

Rules that trip people up

  • Apply benefits before you order. Once an order goes to the lab, GlassesUSA can’t add insurance; you’d have to cancel and reorder.
  • One member, one benefit. Benefits can’t be used for a spouse or child under your member ID.
  • Prescription only. Non-prescription sunglasses and fashion eyewear aren’t covered.
  • Returns: insured orders follow the normal return policy with a free prepaid label; on the third return of an item you get a refund and your benefits restored.

How GlassesUSA compares

Eight of the 10 stores we track accept vision insurance, FSA/HSA cards or both – see our price tracker for each store’s insurance and FSA/HSA options. If you’re paying with pre-tax money instead, read using FSA or HSA for glasses online. For prices, returns and lens options, see is GlassesUSA legit?. If your plan is EyeMed, Aetna, Cigna or Humana, compare EyeBuyDirect’s in-network checkout.
