Total Retiree Advantage (TRAIL) Teachers’ Retirement Insurance Program (TRIP)  Vision Plan

EyeMed administers the vision benefits for the TRIP Vision Program. When plan participants utilize EyeMed In-Network providers, the benefit levels are greater.

Vision Coverage is provided at no additional cost to members and their covered dependents that are enrolled in the TRIP Total Retiree Advantage Illinois (TRAIL) MAPD plan.

Plan participants must submit an EyeMed Claim form for reimbursement when an out-of-network provider is used.
