SAN
FRANCISCO, July 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Dental
of California and Affiliates, the
leading dental insurance provider, in partnership with VSP® Vision
Care, the nation's first not-for-profit vision benefits
company, has announced the expansion of
DeltaVision®, a vision insurance product. Originally
launched in 2022 and offered to Delta Dental's small business
program (serviced through Allied Administrators),
DeltaVision® will be available to midsize and large
group businesses in most markets for plans effective January 1, 2025.
"Delta Dental is thrilled to offer DeltaVision, in partnership
with VSP Vision Care, to our large and midsize customers, as we
continue to add value to our market-leading suite of health-focused
products and plans," said Mohammad
Navid, Executive Vice President and Chief Relationship and
Business Development Officer at Delta Dental of California. "As we accelerate our
transformation from dental payer to health care company, Delta
Dental will remain anchored in our purpose of increasing access to
quality care, with an emphasis on driving innovation to meet and
exceed our customers' needs."
DeltaVision® connects Delta Dental members to VSP
Vision Care's robust nationwide Choice Network, which offers an
average of five in-network doctors within six miles of most
members. Through DeltaVision, members have access to VSP Vision
Care's network of more than 42,000 doctors, including private
practice, retail options through Visionworks®, and
online options from Eyeconic®. The plans offer vision
care essentials that include annual eye exams, retinal screenings,
eyeglasses, contact lenses and more.
"Eye health, like oral health, plays a crucial role in a
person's overall health and wellbeing. During an eye exam, an
optometrist can detect signs of up to 270 chronic health
conditions, including diabetes," said Dr. Valerie Sheety-Pilon, Vice President of Clinical
and Medical Affairs at VSP Vision Care. "This collaboration is an
important way to improve access to both vision and dental care and
contribute to a healthier, more productive workforce."
DeltaVision® provides access to quality vision care
that supports members' overall health and wellness. Plans include
Essential Medical Eye Care, offering supplemental coverage for
urgent and medical eyecare, and treatments for ongoing conditions
such as diabetic eye disease, glaucoma, and more. Members receive
the vision care they need with in-network savings and greater
access to high-quality, affordable vision care, while employers
benefit from industry-leading offerings, seamless administration,
one point of contact and consolidated billing.
