Had not heard as fact they were allowing Costco to be in network... thanks for the info.

Here's the scoop... VSP got the Trader Joe's account by agreeing to allow Costco to file claims on behalf of the patient. At Costco, the patient will receive a higher out-of-network benefit. Costco...

Personal endorsement of Gunnars: I'm wearing my Rx Gunnars right now and I love them. Previous pair had Essilor Anti-fatigue lenses and liked them as well. Could go either way... but Gunnars is...

I sat down with one of my ODs and we figured out how much income he'll lose with the VSP changes and now the Avesis $7.95 charge per claim filed. Came out to just under $10,000 by doing nothing...

Hated it so much I switched to Google Chrome and I'm much happier!

Can I suggest you edit the document and change HIPPA to HIPAA? It stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

Otherwise I think it's a great idea!

Yesterday, VSP faxed to all providers notification of changes to their plans, some reimbursements, and benefits effective 7/1/2009. I'm curious to hear from those who accept VSP how you think the...

Vision Care Plan was built on the backs of providers in Florida with lots of promises made to docs. Sold to CompBenefits, now sold to Humana.

If we go ahead and develop a Drivewear vision plan, I'll run it past you folks. We haven't run numbers yet although I anticipate it will be similiar to our ComputerWear program.

I am sorry that...

Harry...

I'm just trying to run a concept past you that we're debating about on the vision plan side. More than anything I'm curious what the response would be from your industry. (When was the...

Hey, I'm the first to agree that a private pay patient is the best. But if someone isn't willing to make a deal as you are, is it better to (a) have the patient that is already in your office walk...

More than what you'd receive by losing the sale, but less than retail. The success of our company has been based on OD's setting reimbursement rates that are higher than any other plan out there...

This drivewear discussion is really interesting to me as a vision plan provider.

One of you mentioned that two sales walked out the door due to value/cost. I wouldn't be surprised if both of...

I "discovered" your message board yesterday and I have to tell you how impressed I am with the content and discussion. I've been in the insurance industry for 25+ years (please don't groan at me),...
