End Abusive VBM Practices

Each year, millions of American families rely on local eye doctors for their comprehensive vision and eye health care needs. While many patients have coverage for medical eye care through a health plan, roughly 200 million Americans have preventive eye exam and materials (glasses/contact lenses) benefits administered by a vision benefit manager (VBM). 

Special legal treatment for and a lack of competition among vision benefit managers has led to costly, choice-limiting mandates being forced on patients and their doctors—leading to higher prices and less access to care for patients while doctors face the tough choice of providing needed care to neighbors or keeping their practices viable.
