Members can now see clearly for less thanks to more affordable vision coverage from SEANC Insurance. SEANC’s Insurance Board of Trustees and staff recently negotiated with Spectera for a 5 percent decrease on premiums for members.

The decrease is effective on July 1. The insurance will continue to offer the same cost-effective nationwide benefit plans and includes eye exams, lenses, eyeglass frames and contact lenses. The enhanced plan option covers many eyeglass lens extras such as progressive lenses and some cosmetic options. Discounts are available on non-covered cosmetic options and laser vision correction procedures. Costco has recently been added as an eye care provider as well.

“Vision coverage is one of our most popular plans,” said Insurance Board of Trustees Chairwoman Pam Hailey. “At a time when the cost of everything is going up, we are delighted to be able to offer our customers an even greater value at a lower price.”

Also on July 1, SEANC’s pet insurance plan through VPI Pet Insurance will beg1n offering a standalone wellness plan to members. This plan is designed to cover all of a pet’s routine vet visits, which as any pet owner can attest can add up.

Put your SEANC membership to work for you and save money with our insurance plans.
