History of Alternative Benefit Solutions
Originally established in 1988 as Total Vision Services, we began marketing
a discount fee for service vision plan in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. Since its
inception, TVS has experienced steady growth and now works with well over 1,500
clients.
In 1990, Total Vision Services led the industry in adding Ophthalmologists to their
panel of providers. The Ophthalmology panel not only administers primary eye examinations,
but also offers discounts on the latest advances in laser surgery.
In 1997, Total Vision Services completed an arrangement with a national network
of providers and now offers their clients provider base of over 12,000 eye care
professionals throughout the United States. With this added provider network, TVS
now services clients nationwide.
In 2002, TVS expanded their product line to include an insured vision plan that
coincides with our philosophy of offering benefits that are completely flexible
and voluntary. The insured plan, which is underwritten by Avesis, offers the most
competitive rates in the industry asattested by attaining the State of Kentucky
employees as one of our initial clients.
Due to continued interest in our innovative concepts for insured and non-insured
products, TVS added the Complete Discount Dental Program utilizing the Aetna Dental
Network of over 66,000 dentists in 2004. This new product will carry the same level
of service and value that our clients have grown accustomed
to through the years.
As a result of our diversification into our new products, Total Vision Services
officially became Alternative Benefit Solutions as of August 1, 2004.
Since the beginning, TVS and now Alternative Benefit Solutions have constantly updated
our technology in order to offer our clients and members efficient and quality service.
Web site services that respond to questions and provider locations, on-line enrollment
capabilities, custom designed intra-web and inter-web sites and one-on-one personal
interaction with our customer base has made Alternative Benefit Solutions a leader
in customer service.
