Vision Care
Stanford offers vision care that includes coverage for eyeglass and contacts through Vision Service Plan (VSP).
Mental Health & Substance Abuse
When you enroll in one of the medical options, you and your family are automatically covered for mental health and substance abuse care. The Help Center is available to all employees.
Staying Healthy

Enrolling In Your Plans
You may enroll yourself and your eligible dependents within 31 days of becoming an eligible employee.

Changes can only be made outside the enrollment period if you, or a covered family member, have a life event change.
