TROY, Mich.—After a decrease in overall satisfaction in 2020, vision plan satisfaction is rebounding as doctor visits increase, according to the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Vision Plan Satisfaction Report, released earlier this month. Overall satisfaction is 769 (on a 1,000-point scale), an increase from 760 in 2020. Additionally, 5 percent  more members visited their vision providers within the past six months compared with the same time in 2020. In the annual J.D. Power ranking, UnitedHealthcare Vision ranks highest in customer satisfaction with vision plan insurers with a score of 825. Aetna Vision (816) ranks second and Davis Vision (775) ranks third.

The 2021 U.S. Vision Plan Satisfaction Report is based on responses from more than 1,110 vision plan members. The study was fielded from September through October 2021. The report, now in its seventh year, measures customer satisfaction with vision plan providers based on five factors (in order of importance): coverage; cost; communications; customer service; and reimbursement.
