VSP's Individual Plan Thrives in a Starvi...(eir top strategies for 2009. As employer...),Health

"I was a VSP member through my previous employer and I was happy that I could enroll as an individual when I started my own business," said Eric Murray, a REALTOR(R) from Roseville, Calif. "The best aspect of the plan was the overall savings I gained from the plan and the ability to continue seeing my VSP doctor."

With a newly re-designed Web site available in both English and Spanish, signing up for the plan is easy and automated. Members receive affordable vision benefits with family savings of up to $400, a WellVision Exam(R) focused on their health, annual coverage of glasses or contacts, and additional savings through association memberships, including an optional discount dental plan.

The individual plan is not yet available in the state of Florida. For more information, please visit www.vsp.com.
