Can members receive care from the provider of their choice?
Most all Davis Vision plans offer members the freedom to visit any provider of their choice. Of course, members receive the greatest benefit value when they visit one of our 30,000+ network providers, where many plans offer paid-in-full coverage. Some groups prefer to offer “in-network” benefits only.
Do you offer individual vision coverage?
Davis Vision programs are designed as true group products, precluding individual products.
