Vision Plan Introduction

The Avesis plans are designed to provide your clients with some of the most flexible design options in the industry. Each plan provides coverage for vision examinations, spectacle lenses, frames, contact lenses and even Refractive Laser Surgery.

Employer groups can choose to offer these sought after benefits on an employer paid, 50/50 or the option that is fast becoming the most popular among employers - voluntary.

Materials Only and Exam Only plans are also available for employer groups who offer a vision exam or materials coverage bundled within their medical package. These options will complete the employer's offering, providing members with a full service vision care package.

Refractive Laser Surgery has been a popular procedure over the past few years. Avesis is one of the few carriers that offer plan members an option of using a one-time/lifetime funded option toward Refractive Laser Surgery services.
