Great Neck, NY, June 26, 2015-- ShelterPoint Life Insurance Company is partnering with National Vision Administrators, L.L.C. (NVA), one of the largest national vision networks and benefit administrators, to provide enhanced network benefits and claims processing capabilities for its policyholders.
The partnership allows ShelterPoint to leverage NVA’s negotiating power to reduce the cost of its vision benefits for its members by utilizing NVA’s national network of over 40,000 eye care professionals, including retailers and independent doctors.
ShelterPoint will have the flexibility to create custom plans based on the individual needs of its clients. In addition, ShelterPoint’s members will have access to NVA’s stellar vision benefits administration practices and a live 24/7/365 call center.
