    Calif. Approves Bill to Transform Relationships Among ODs, Opticians, Optical Firms and MVC

    SACRAMENTO, Calif.—After years of political wrangling, the California legislature voted Friday, Sept. 11, 2015, to approve transformative new legislation (AB 684) governing the relationships among optometrists, opticians, optical companies and managed vision care plans.

    The new law, which is expected to be signed by California Governor Jerry Brown no later than Oct. 11, 2015, and go into effect by Jan. 1, 2016, will allow the establishment of landlord-tenant relationships between a registered dispensing optician (RDO), optician and an optical company, among other provisions, including allowing an optician or optical company to own a health plan if they do not employ doctors and allowing optometrists to contract with other health plans, according to the language found in AB 684. In addition, health plans that employ doctors must transition them to lease arrangements within three years (excluding medical groups that employ doctors).
