Vision Care Direct is NOT insurance.
It is a payment plan designed by independent eye doctors designed to provide affordable, high-quality eye care directly to patients in the communities in which they serve. Vision Care Direct is a vision plan designed to cut out the middle-man!
Eliminating this step in the healthcare process allows patients to pay smaller premiums and ultimately allows doctors to continue to provide premium care.
With typical insurance, the relationship is between you and the insurance company and not between you and your doctor! Insurance plans can begin to dictate where and how you are cared for.
Vision Care Direct gets rid of this barrier by allowing you the choice of which private practice doctor you see and the level of care you desire to receive.
With Vision Care Direct, you determine what your desires are for eye care services.
There are multiple options designed to meet your specific needs. You then select a plan and sign-up.
Payments can be made in full when you purchase or they can be spread out in installments for your convenience.
Your benefits are available for you to use instantly so you begin to see the savings!
