South Carolina S0402 regulates vision care insurance plans by allowing providers to opt out of exclusive agreements and ensuring consumers can access.

South Carolina S0402 amends the South Carolina Code of Laws to add Article 24, titled "Vision Care Plans," which defines terms and regulates vision care insurance plans. The bill mandates that vision care insurance plans allow providers to opt out of exclusive supplier or product agreements without penalties. If a required product is unavailable through a contracted supplier, consumers must be able to obtain the product from an out-of-network supplier at the same coverage level as in-network providers.
