• Does FEHB pay any dental and/or vision services when you are covered under FEDVIP? View more
  It depends.  FEHB plans vary greatly in the amount and type of dental and/or vision services they cover.  The FEHB plan is the first payor of benefits.  FEDVIP is the secondary payor to any FEHB benefits.  Review your FEHB plan’s brochure to find out what dental and vision coverage it offers.
