Affinity Program Offers Vision, Dental Discounts

Jan 18, 2018 Re-posted from the January 2018 issue of Vascular Specialist

Surgeons can purchase discounts on vision and dental care for their personal use and as an employee benefit for their staff. The program is through Careington EyeMed Dental and Vision.

The dental plans offer coverage options through Careington’s network of 200,000 providers. The vision plan offers access to thousands of network providers, including independent providers and a number of retail chains, including LensCrafters, Sears Optical, Target Optical, JCPenny Optical and most Pearle Vision providers.

Contact Mark Blocker at Mark@nationalaffinity.net or at 855-533-1776, or visit vsweb.org/AffinityProgram for information on any Affinity Program benefit.

(Purchasing a product through the expanded SVS affinity program benefits not only you and your practice, but also SVS itself.)

A few years ago, in his presidential address to the Midwestern Vascular Surgical Society, Mark Mattos, MD, spoke eloquently about the need to “protect our specialty.” A large part of this, he argued, is protecting our patients; no other specialty in medicine can provide the type of comprehensive vascular care that we offer. The daily reality we all face is the potential for declining Medicare reimbursement for our services.

Progress made during year like no other

While the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects dominated 2020–21 fiscal year—including the cancellation of the live 2020 Vascular Annual Meeting (VAM)—it did not deter progress on many important initiatives. “When covid hit, it intensified our focus on what was truly important: our members, their patients and the SVS as their Society,” said Executive Director Kenneth M. Slaw, PhD. “That focus was sustained the past 15 months and it has led to innovation and an unprecedented volume of member value programs.” He outlined important highlights from the fiscal year that ended March 31—just more than a year after the pandemic was declared—and the vital initiatives that continue to move forward.
