Independents sign up to new VSP scheme

Vision care insurance provider VSP has described early UK take-up of its Neighbourhood Eyecare network scheme as ‘very encouraging’.

VSP said it had seen steady enrolment into the scheme since its launch earlier this summer (News 28.06.13) and had received nearly 160 applications, which represented more than 250 practice locations throughout the UK.

‘We are encouraged with our initial sign-up and believe VSP practitioners will see added value as our business expands throughout the UK. Our goal is to support as many independent practitioners as possible by providing them with tools and opportunities that allow them to compete and grow their patient base,’ said Pat McNeil, corporate communications director, VSP Global.
