CareCredit and VSP Vision Care (VSP) announced an exclusive agreement to educate VSP’s nearly 70 million members and CareCredit’s nine million cardholders about options for managing eyecare expenses for a range of eyewear, including glasses and contacts, sunglasses, specialty sport and other customizable eyewear. They will also work to connect members and cardholders with providers who accept CareCredit in the VSP doctor network.
“CareCredit and VSP share a common goal of helping patients get the vision care and products they need and want, while enhancing both patient and provider satisfaction,” says Dave Fasoli, president and CEO of CareCredit. “This agreement brings together payment options from a respected finance company and coverage benefits of a leading insurance provider to provide a complete solution for VSP customers to manage the cost of their families’ vision needs.”
VSP will work with its network of 32,000 providers to add the CareCredit credit card as a payment option and to educate its patients about the benefits of CareCredit.
“Our members are highly satisfied with their VSP coverage because it does a great job of meeting their daily eyecare and eyewear needs,” says VSP Vision Care President Jim McGrann, “but there are times when members want or need extras that enhance their lifestyle, and CareCredit can help them address those costs.”
