PerkSpot Can Complement Your Health Care Benefits

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Voluntary.com is a great source that Human Resources administrators can use to keep up with the trends in corporate voluntary benefits.  They recently published an article about vision care in the United States.  According to a yearlong study just 42% of Americans without vision insurance had seen an eye care professional within the year.

Stephen Ingram, executive director of the National Association of Vision Care Plans, believes the findings suggest that “employers should not only offer a vision plan, but also educate employees on how to use them effectively.” Although consumers are generally taking a greater interest in their health care, he cautions that they do not understand how regular eye exams and vision care promote overall health and well being.

PerkSpot offers a variety of employee discounts on medical products and services.  Employees have access to perks at merchants like 1-800 Contacts, 39DollarGlasses.com, VisionDirect.com, DentalPlans.com, drugstore.com, and GNC.  These discounts can complement the health care benefits that employees may already receive.  Here is a sample of the discounts offered as part of a PerkSpot employee discount program:
