Voluntary Vision
Nancy Bisson Joy Hebert
Northern will continue to offer the DeltaVision Voluntary Vision Plan (EyeMed Network) benefit to those
employees working 20+ hours per week. Employees are eligible for voluntary vision insurance on the first of
the month following 60 days of employment.
Please note If you are on the Northeast Delta Dental plan, you are offered a retail discount through EyeMed
which is simply a small discount off of retail prices. Much of the time the stores run promotions that are
better than the discount.
The discount is not of value to those with the fully insured DeltaVision plan because the DeltaVision plan
allows a 40% discount off any prescription glasses purchased outside of the network. That is a better value
than what you can get on the Dental EyeMed discount.
You cannot use the DeltaVision plan and the Dental Eyemed discount together.
A rate table with a breakdown of your pre-tax contribution for the 2020 – 2021 plan year, and a plan overview
are outlined below.

Deductions $1.33 $2.29 $4.09
