TROY, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vision plan providers that provide plan information to customers see a significantly higher overall customer satisfaction score than those who do not, according to the J.D.

Specifically, insureds who do not receive plan information from their provider have satisfaction scores that are 110 points lower (on a 1,000-point scale) than those who do.

“Communications to vision plan customers was the lowest-scoring factor in the study,” said Christopher Lis, managing director of global healthcare intelligence at J.D.
