Introducing Heritage’s Individual Enrollment Program
If you’re self-employed, freelancing, or between jobs, you’ve probably experienced the frustration of trying to find affordable vision insurance. Maybe you’ve put off that eye exam because you’re worried about the cost, or you’ve been paying out-of-pocket for glasses and contacts that add up faster than you expected. You’re not alone—and now, there’s a better solution.
Heritage Vision Plans is proud to introduce our Individual Enrollment Program, designed specifically for people who don’t have access to traditional employer-sponsored vision benefits but still deserve comprehensive, affordable eye care.
Who This Program Is For
Our individual enrollment program serves self-employed professionals, freelancers, gig economy workers, nonprofit employees of small organizations that don’t offer insurance benefits, families who have chosen to self-insure, early retirees not yet eligible for Medicare, and anyone currently between jobs or working for an employer who doesn’t offer vision benefits. If you’ve been navigating the challenges of accessing vision care on your own, this program was created with your needs in mind.
Why Vision Insurance?
- Changes in eye health can be hard to spot! Do you notice yourself squinting? Are you experiencing headaches? Do your eyes feel tired at the end of the day? Time to get your eyes checked!
- Regular eye exams are important for your overall health. Protecting your vision helps protect your entire body. An eye exam can detect disease in early stages, making regular appointments an essential component of overall physical health.
- Vision insurance can save you hundreds of dollars every year. Between reduced exam costs, minimal co-pay, and 50–60% off retail prices, vision insurance is well worth the monthly costs.
- Enjoy contacts, eyewear or both! Choose a vision plan that fits your lifestyle! Never glasses, only contacts, or vice versa? Not a problem! Do you prefer the flexibility of switching between the two? We offer a plan that covers both!
What Makes Heritage Different
Unlike many vision insurance options that leave independent workers behind, Heritage’s individual enrollment program brings you the same quality coverage that larger employers provide to their teams. You’ll gain access to Heritage’s extensive provider network, which we have carefully built to ensure you have convenient options close to home. In urban areas, you’ll find at least two providers within ten miles, and in rural communities, at least one provider within twenty-five miles.
Our network includes providers who operate seven days a week, because we understand that your schedule may not align with typical, ‘traditional’ business hours. Whether you need an evening appointment after a client call or a weekend visit that won’t disrupt your workflow, we’ve got you covered.
Comprehensive Coverage, Predictable Costs
The program includes routine eye exams, prescription eyewear, and contact lenses—the essential services that help you maintain healthy vision and stay productive. You’ll also have access to ancillary benefits including discounts on LASIK surgery and hearing aids through our strategic partners, giving you comprehensive care options beyond basic vision services.
Perhaps most importantly, you’ll have clarity about your costs and coverage. Our member portal makes it easy to find in-network providers, understand your benefits, and manage your plan—all the tools you need to take charge of your eye health without confusion or surprise expenses.
Take the Next Step
We want you to understand and be able to predict the costs for eye care for you and your family. Our cost calculator provides detailed estimates so that you can review options and make an informed decision about vision insurance versus out-of-pocket costs.
Quality vision care shouldn’t depend on having a traditional employer. At Heritage Vision Plans, we believe everyone deserves access to comprehensive, affordable eye care. Whether you’re building your own business, pursuing freelance opportunities, or charting your own professional path, we want you to have the resources to protect your vision.
