Committee agrees to move forward with North American Vision plan citing lower cost and better benefits
Summary
The committee decided to pursue a North American Vision option that staff presented as lower cost and offering a higher frame allowance and more frequent benefits; staff will finalize enrollment details.
Staff walked the committee through a North American Vision option that staff said provided better coverage at lower cost than the current vision plan. Packet figures cited employee-only employer cost falling from $925 under the current plan to $779 under the proposed plan. "I think this 1 is a no brainer," the Staff member said when comparing frame allowances and frequency of benefit renewal.
Committee members said the numbers "come out ahead" and directed staff to finalize the change. Staff noted some packet figures (for example an unusually low number listed in the packet for the current frame allowance) appear inconsistent and will be confirmed as staff completes enrollment paperwork.
