RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- VSP® Vision Care is the first eyecare provider in the industry to offer fully-insured individual vision coverage across all 50 states. Florida marked the 50th and final state to begin offering VSP's Individual Plan to its residents.
VSP's Individual Plan Program launched in 2007 and provides high quality vision coverage to tens of thousands of individuals throughout the United States. The plan includes a comprehensive eye exam, prescription lenses and options, frame and contact lens allowances.
VSP recently surveyed its individual plan members and found the key reason for enrollment was the lack of vision coverage through their employer. Retirement, unemployment and self-employment without vision coverage were the next deciding factors.
"VSP developed this individual plan to help make vision coverage more affordable and accessible to those who may not have vision coverage through their employer or through other means," said Gary Brooks, VSP Vision Care President. "We are thrilled to now offer individual coverage in all 50 states, and broaden access to eyecare which not only improves healthy vision, but helps monitor overall health at an affordable price."
