EyeMed will be the new administrator of State of Texas Vision beginning Sept. 1

On March 1, the Employees Retirement System of Texas (ERS) Board of Trustees awarded the third-party administrator contract for State of Texas Vision to EyeMed Vision Care, LLC. The six-year contract term will begin Sept. 1, 2023.

Employees, retirees and their eligible dependents enrolled in State of Texas Vision do not need to re-enroll because of this transition. Their coverage will transfer to EyeMed automatically on Sept.1, unless they choose to drop coverage. (Employees can drop coverage only during Summer Enrollment or with a qualifying life event. Retirees can drop coverage any time.)

Over the next few months and during Summer Enrollment, ERS, EyeMed and Superior Vision will share detailed information about the change. You will also have opportunities to meet EyeMed representatives at Summer Enrollment fairs and webinars.
