Cost-Saving Volume Purchase Programs


For more than four decades, Classic Optical has implemented numerous cost-saving volume purchase programs and currently partners with over 50 Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) nationally. Utilizing the MCO's proprietary network of eye care professionals to provide vision care services and dispense finished eyewear, these organization's contract with Classic Optical to manufacture the prescribed eyeglasses at fixed wholesale prices and some MCOs leverage Classic's proprietary benefit management systems. Retrospective cost analyses indicate that our laboratory has saved these entities many millions of dollars every year as a result of this program integration.
