Protect Laboratory Choice.

I am writing to ask for your support for laboratory choice protections and Vision Benefit Manager reform. I am A concerned eye care professional with my practice in our community.

I have been in practice for many years and serve patients every month. As an independent practice, we need the ability to select the laboratory that best supports patient care, turnaround time, product availability, and service quality.

Vision Benefit Managers and vision plans should not dictate where doctors send work or restrict choices that may better serve patient needs. Laboratory competition helps maintain innovation, accountability, local jobs, and better outcomes for patients.

We rely on independent laboratories because they provide responsive service, product choice, and accountability.

I support legislation that protects laboratory choice, preserves access to non-covered services, and ensures independent doctors can make decisions based on patient needs rather than plan pressure.

Thank you for considering this important issue for independent practices, independent laboratories, and the patients we serve.

Sincerely,
A concerned eye care professional
