Vision Benefits Through NVA
Established in 1979, National Vision Administrators (NVA) is an independent, family-owned vision benefits administrator with deep expertise serving union populations. Unlike vision companies owned by optical manufacturers, retail chains, or publicly traded corporations, NVA operates independently and remains free of conflicts of interest.
As a U.S.-based company with a union-represented workforce, NVA understands the unique needs and values of labor organizations. Every aspect of our service—from customer support and claims administration to account management—is handled in the United States by experienced professionals committed to delivering exceptional service to funds and their members.
Our independent structure allows us to focus on what matters most: helping funds manage costs while members get the care they need at fair, pre-negotiated prices, without pressure to purchase unnecessary products or upgrades.
