Can members receive care from the provider of their choice?
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 nearly 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, and are not designed for portability with conversion to individual policies, nor direct billing of participants.
