    VSP Premier Providers Looking for Hints and tips...

    Finding ourselves VSP Premier Providers now (oh joy) and the office manger handed me a spiffy (2 page- one for card second legal caveats) handout for patients to get a "GET UP TO $100 PREPAID MASTERCARD".

    Any heads up as to what to expect when I start giving this to my many Marchon/Altair, Unity Elite with Tech Shield Elite UVB AR patients?

    (The paper and printer ink we go through for every patient is mind boggling!!!)

    Do you have to give it to them? You can be certain there's some marketing sh*t-f*ckery behind the offer, and the goal isn't to enrich you.

    My fear would be a coworker getting it then the office grape vine has me scrambling to say why we didn't offer it.

    The way some of the mega benefits work around here will have the patient unable to get any card as they pay nothing and they can only get back up to $100 of what they paid out of pocket for applicable frames, coatings and lenses.

    Lots of high tech around me with shockingly good coverage.

    Two years ago i was told by our VSP Rep that the member had to mention it, that we were not able to print it the member would print from their own email. This year i have a couple printed but i haven't used any.

    Thanks for the reply Emma and welcome to the posters side of Optiboard!

    My rep just now said that she does recommend we mention the promotion but can require them to print out the paperwork We still have to sign it so I'm leaning toward making them bring it with them at pick up when we hand out the paid itemized receipt.

    I still see this as a promotion that is, like Big E's rebates another scheme to collect data for future further stomping of OD's as VSP goes retail.

    Umm, we just went Platinum Premiere, and have literally never been told anything about a prepaid card.....I'm gonna say you probably don't have to give it out.
