Under Standard Insurance Company's filed form for California (CA), the vision insurance policy includes frequency limitations for eye care expenses, which may be on a rolling frequency basis (once or twice every 12 or 24 months) or on a benefit period basis (once or twice), depending on the plan design selected by the Policyholder [1]. The type of frequency provision is determined by the plan design, and the Benefit Period definition contains the variables [January 1] and [December 31], which can be any month and day based on the Policyholder’s plan year [1]. The frequency limitation in Limitation Nos. 1, 2, 3, or 4 will either be once or twice in a 12 or 24 month period (rolling frequency) or a benefit period frequency, depending on the plan design [1]. Associated expenses can be in lieu of any lens and/or frame benefit [1]. Any limitation could be deleted entirely or any of the sub-items based on the plan design selected by the Policyholder, and the entire list of services is optional and can be removed or modified based on the plan design [1]. This does not appear in these excerpts — check the full policy.
