AlwaysCare Benefits Inc. is trying to get eye care professionals to look at it in a new light.
AlwaysCare, a company that sells vision benefits, dental insurance, critical illness insurance and other non-major medical benefits, said it has set up a new vision care provider portal, to make it easier for the providers to access and manage the patients' benefits.
Providers should now find it easier to complete tasks such as checking whether patients are eligible for benefits and calculating the amount a patient will owe, AlwaysCare said.
Improving eye care professionals' experience should help improve the enrollees' experience, the company said.
AlwaysCare sells vision benefits on both a traditional, group, employer-paid basis and through sales of individual products at the worksite.
