Vision Plans
With a reputation built on quality, flexibility and responsiveness, Heritage provides superior vision plans at competitive prices. Implementing our benefits program is easy, and options are available for employer and employee plans.
Already have coverage, but want to change?
If your company or your client already has medical coverage, Heritage can "carve out" vision care from the current plan without affecting the rest of the coverage. The transition to Heritage is seamless and cost-free, with minimal network disruption.
Looking for something special?
Heritage Vision Plans can tailor a vision care program that meets any organization's requirements exactly. We also feature a variety of financial arrangements that include employer-paid and voluntary plans with tiered or composite rate structures.
I've had HVP coverage for more than 10 years, and I've been thankful right from my first eye exam. The Heritage Vision Plan provider noticed something wrong and referred me to an ophthalmologist who discovered an aneurism in my eye.
It probably saved my life. Without the coverage, I'm not sure where I'd be today. I love Heritage Vision Plans and the great service your people provide.
We have partnered with Heritage Vision Plans for many years. We have always appreciated the drive of the customer service and provider relations departments to provide excellent service to both patients and providers. We look forward to working together for many more years to come.
After years of partnership with Heritage Vision Plans, we have seen first-hand their exemplary service. Members of Heritage Vision Plans can count on a personal, care-centric experience at the time of service and claim processing, and a warm reception when visiting Heritage Optical stores. Our commitment to our clients is one of personal service, integrity, and expertise, and we consider Heritage Vision Plans an invaluable partner.

Did You Know That?
There are lots of short-life (disposable) contact lens options, each a little different. Disposable soft lenses are normally worn for one or two weeks and then discarded. One-day soft contact lenses are worn for a single day, discarded at night, and replaced by a new pair in the morning. Planned replacement soft contact lenses are replaced on a planned schedule, usually monthly or quarterly. Extended-wear contact lenses are usually worn for a specified number of days (overnight) without removal. Check with your eye-care professional to explore what’s right for you.
