Catalyst Best Benefits Vision Service

Vision Program Now Your Program Can Help Your Members Cut the High Cost of Eyewear
Nearly 92% of adults age 50 and over require corrective eyewear. Yet the ever-increasing costs of prescription lenses and frames cause many aging adults to forego getting the corrective eyewear they really need, when they need it. The Catalyst Best Benefits Vision Service™ offers your hospital a revenue stream...plus marketing support tools to boost your program…with absolutely no paperwork for you to handle. The progressively greater reliance on corrective eyewear, and the accelerated pace of replacing eye-wear because of advancing age or eyewear breakage and loss, becomes extremely expensive. Typical health insurance plans either do not cover eyewear for any reason, or involve limitations and procedures that discourage your members from purchasing.

It's One of Every Hospital Program's Most Valuable Member Benefits
If your members have been putting off purchasing eyewear that can help them enjoy richer, fuller, more functional and safer lives…or eye-wear that can give them more of the "today" look they seek…then they'll welcome the excellent value of the Catalyst Best Benefits Vision Service™ By offering your members this important and popular program benefit, they will save 10% to 60% (averages range from 30% to 45%) on prescription eyewear that any-one in their households require or desire. Their choice of high quality, top-of-the-line eyewear is available through a nationwide network of over 12,000 quality vision care centers spanning all 50 states.
