Eyecare discounts at no extra charge

July 2006

Less than 4% of employers provide eyecare benefits because most health plans offer them at an additional cost. But more than 60% of all Americans require some form of vision correction. Encore knows how critical proper eyecare is to its members. And because we are committed to offering the very best in overall coverage, the Encore Health Network is offering members and their families exceptional eyecare coverage from VSP at no additional charge. This makes Encore the only PPO in the state of Indiana to offer complimentary eyecare discounts. VSP is the nation's largest provider of eyecare coverage, where more than one in ten Americans rely on VSP for eyecare wellness.

It's just another way that Encore is focused on you and your health. Take a look at the savings:

• 20% discount on a VSP doctor's exam fee
• 20% discount on a complete pair of prescription glasses*

  *This benefit is unlimited, meaning members and their families can purchase as many pairs as they want using the discount.

• 15% discount on contact lens fitting and evaluation exams
• 15% average discount on the regular price of laser vision correction at contracted laser centers or an additional 5% off the center's promotional price
