Kids get vision care through Horizon BCBS partnership
In January, Davis Vision began a new partnership with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) of New Jersey. Horizon BCBS services more than 50 group customers and sponsors a pediatric vision care program in the state of New Jersey. Through the new partnership, Davis will provide managed vision care to more than 85,000 Horizon BCBS members, including Horizon's own employees. Approximately 68,000 of those members are pediatric, eligible for eye care services annually that can make a world of difference in effective learning.
Davis Vision is particularly proud to be partnering with a Blues plan and to be ensuring that the eye health and wellness needs of our youngest are being met. Studies show that 80 percent of what a child learns comes through the ability to see — inside and outside of the classroom. Improving the quality of children's health, including their vision, results in better health outcomes for a lifetime.
Horizon's customers will benefit from Davis Vision's unique offerings as a result of its relationship to HVHC Inc.'s integrated supply chain, including state-of-the-art eyewear labs providing high-quality eyewear, broad accessibility to services at retail and direct access to an exclusive collection of frames, both private label and designer, ranging in price from $0 to $40. Through Davis Vision, each and every Horizon BCBS member has the best eye care and eyewear available at substantial savings.
