Consumers are recognizing the benefits of buying glasses and contacts online and it doesn’t appear that online shopping will slow down any time soon, as younger generations lead the movement towards online shopping and brands adjust their selling strategies to better meet their shopping habits. For this reason, health plans and advisors have a unique role to play in educating older consumers on the benefits of utilizing their vision benefits for online retail to ensure they are taking advantage of the newest offerings.
It has become more common for people to take advantage of online retail to conveniently purchase care items they regularly need, including eyewear. Although not a replacement for in-person care, access to an online retailer within network helps meet the eyewear needs of many members with varied tastes, needs, time and budgets.
More employers are recognizing that offering vision benefits is a cost-effective way to reduce health-related absenteeism and health care premiums, while increasing productivity. Hear more from Versant Health’s Lisa Hall and Kelly Wenrich on ways to encourage vision care enrollment, its effect on pricing and network choice, and its role in early detection of chronic conditions.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an e-commerce surge, with technology serving as the vehicle between consumers and products. HR professionals and health plans can be a critical resource in helping employees understand how to access their vision benefits and, specifically, how that access extends to a digital medium.
Offering vision coverage is often seen as a healthcare benefits perk, but it also can contribute to employee loyalty, well-being and safety. Listen to Versant Health’s Amy Mann and Larry Opperman as they break down the role of vision coverage and how employers can better educate employees on its benefits.
Offering vision and dental coverage may simply seem like the right thing for employers to do. But the benefits far outweigh basic healthcare. Listen as Versant Health’s Courtney Smith-Brawner discusses the benefits of offering both vision and dental care and why it’s critical for employers to understand the rewards.
COVID-19 has significantly impacted how people approach and perceive health care.
