Vision Insurance Overview

St. Cloud State University offers an optional Vision plan through State Employee Group Insurance Program (SEGIP). 

Beginning January 1, 2026 the SEGIP Vision Plan will be administered in partnership with MetLife's Superior Vision Network. This plan is available in 2026 for all benefits-eligible employees, regardless of whether you are enrolled in the State of Minnesota’s MN Advantage Health Plan or have other medical coverage.

Employees enrolled in the MN Advantage Health Plan may choose the Vision plan regardless of their medical plan administrator. While the medical plan covers routine eye exams, the MetLife Vision Insurance provides additional support by helping save of eyeglasses or contact lenses. It also offers discounts on LASIK and other vision-related services.

The plan utilizes MetLife's Superior Vision Network, which includes a wide range of in-network providers, offering flexibility and convenience in accessing care. Participants who do not have access to Superior Vision Network providers within 30 miles, have access to an out-of-area Vision plan.

If you currently have coverage through Davis Vision with Blue Cross, continue to use it through Dec. 31, 2025. Your coverage will automatically move to MetLife Vision unless you cancel it. For more information regarding the 2025 Blue Cross Vision Plan, visit SEGIP's Vision Plan webpage.
