Other Plans

Access

Satisfaction Survey online after using the benefit. |
Patient satisfaction cards mailed to a sample of benefit users.
|
24-hour, toll-free phone access to the wholly owned World
Class ophthalmic fabrication laboratories with consistent quality
assurance review and results.

24-hour member services through a toll-free number utilizing
Davis Vision's industry benchmarked, proprietary CompuVision™
software system as well as on the Internet, for user-friendly
benefit access.
|
Authorization requests made via mail, eliminating easy access
for member/client inquiries, or requiring additional fees paid
for phone-in service. |
|
Quality Assurance
|
| Claims adjudicated electronically via CompuVision™, which
integrates laboratory, provider and administrative services
to guarantee 100% billing accuracy. |
Doctors fill out complex forms that are manually entered and
subject to human error. |
Doctors selected for the panel based solely on an extensive
credentialing process and geographic need. There is no charge
for panel affiliation and providers must comply with Davis Vision's
regulations and quality initiatives.
|
Panel open to all, significantly reducing cost-containment
features and quality control through lack of selection processes.
|
|
Cost
|
| All benefits priced at uniform regional predetermined and
guaranteed fees. |
Examination and eyewear material fees may vary by provider. |
| Virtually every lens type and many popular coatings covered,
eliminating or greatly reducing member's out-of-pocket expense. |
Limited variety of lens options with most coatings considered
"extras" at considerable out-of-pocket expense. |
| Extensive eyewear collection of high quality fashion frames
in the Frame Collection. Backed by one year unconditional breakage
warranty. The frame collection can be augmented by a client-specific
frame allowance. |
No standard collection; member out-of-pocket expense and quality
varies from one provider to the next. Warranties on materials
usually not provided (or, if offered, require an additional
charge). |
| Volume purchasing of lenses and frames guarantees maximum
cost-effectiveness. |
No other plan purchases at same discount level as Davis Vision.
|
Unsurpassed flexibility in benefit plan design.
|
Minimal flexibility in benefits. |
| Most effective in controlling costs. |
Consistently higher in cost, both to the sponsor and the member.
