(header) Your employees just may see you in a whole new light with a
vision plan from Humana
Let’s face it. Extras cost, well, extra. But you can take advantage of your membership in NYCON
to offer valuable perks like a Humana Vision Care plan at an affordable cost to your employees.
Offering a vision plan not only promotes good vision health, but may also reduce total
healthcare costs over time. A thorough eye health exam can help prevent vision loss and also
detect more serious diseases. You can feel good knowing Humana vision plans encourage
prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment.
Here’s how it works:
• Offer a Humana vision plan at little or no additional cost to your benefits budget.
• Add vision to your Humana medical or dental plan and save with our multiline discounts.
• Your employees will get deep discounts (wholesale pricing) no matter which in-network
provider they choose. Plus, they’ll receive discounts on Lasik procedures.
• There are lots of frame choices with access to exclusive lines of designer frames, such as,
Ralph Lauren,® Dolce&Gabbana, Oakley,® Prada, and Ray-Ban® .
• Your employees can take care of eye exams and frames all in one visit. And many locations
offer night and weekend appointments to fit anyone’s schedule.
• Our unique network is one of the largest with more than 35,000 participating optometrist,
ophthalmologist and national retail locations including LensCrafters®, Pearle Vision®, Sears®
Optical, Target® Optical, and JCPenney® Optical.
With the Humana VCP Plan, NYCON members only pay the wholesale price for frames, avoiding
high retail markups, and will benefit with fixed pricing for most lens options, including anti-
reflective and scratch-resistant coatings.
(BACK PANEL)
Choose from two Humana vision plans.
Our VCP plan offers savings on eye exams, frames, and lenses, or contact lenses plus:

percent or more in savings
• Contact lens allowances
• A wholesale frame allowance – avoiding high retail markups and providing benefit consistency

2. • Discounts on Lasik procedures from participating independent laser centers

frames, and contacts plus:
• $10 comprehensive eye exam every 12 months
