Vision Benefits of America (VBA) has been administering managed vision care benefit plans for 45 years, and today is one of the largest, most experienced networks of professional eye care providers in the country. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, VBA is a non-profit healthcare service organization, which falls under the auspice of both the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Pennsylvania Insurance Department.
VBA’s network of participati8ng providers includes more than 15,000 Optometrists, Ophthalmologists, and select Retail Opticals throughout all 50 states – 2,262 in Pennsylvania alone.
VBA achieves significant cost savings by its participating doctors and its more than 260 full-service wholesale optical labs accepting less than typical wholesale fees as payment-in-full for their professional services and ophthalmic materials.
A standard VBA plan will include a fully-paid vision exam, first quality lenses, and a wide selection of fashion frames – more than 29,000 are fully covered! Also, VBA has added a one-year scratch protection plan on every spectacle lens obtained through their network, and just recently, has also begun covering blended “no-line” bifocals – all at no additional cost to their clients or their enrolled members.
