Sun Life has added vision insurance to its benefit offerings in Washington state, rounding out a group benefits portfolio that includes dental, disability and life insurance, and voluntary coverages, such as cancer and critical illness plans.
The Sun Life Vision plan is accepted at most eye care retailers across the state and offers members the simplicity of no ID cards or claims forms, multiple co-payment options, and access to the largest network of eye care providers in Washington, according to April 2018 data from Netminder.
“We are really pleased to add a vision offering to our portfolio in Washington, a state with a broad workforce that needs the best available health and medical benefits,” said Stacia Almquist, vice president, Dental & Vision, for Sun Life Financial U.S. “Often people don’t realize that eye exams can help detect larger health problems, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, so it’s important coverage to have and use. With the launch of our new vision plan, we are able to offer our employer clients in Washington more access to the coverage their employees need.”
Sun Life offers vision insurance in 49 states administered through VSP® Vision Care.
