Notice Title
US Benefits - Vision Insurance
Notice Description
Vision Insurance The US Network has provided vision insurance coverage for its Country Based Staff members (CBS) as part of suite of benefits for many years. The suite of benefits provided have taken on more importance with the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA provided comprehensive reform of medical, prescription drug, dental and vision insurance across the US. The main goal of the ACA is to ensure all Americans have access to affordable insurance coverage. The current contract expires on the 31st of March 2022.
