LICENSURES/ACCREDITATIONS

OptiCare Vision Plan is underwritten by Fidelity Security Life Insurance Company, who is rated A- (excellent) by A.M. Best Company - and independent analyst of the insurance industry.

OptiCare is also licensed as a single service HMO in TX under the name AECC Total Vision Health Plan of Texas, Inc. We have held this licensure since 1996.

We also hold multiple Third Party Administrator (TPA) , Independent Practice Association (IPA) and Utilization Review licenses in states where required by law.

OptiCare also takes the Credentials of our providers very seriously. A measure of this is that we have been accredited with Credentials Verification Organization (CVO) status through the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). We have held this accreditation since January 1999 for 10 out of 10 elements measured. Others say they follow NCQA Guidelines but only OptiCare can proudly say that we have been accredited by NCQA for Credentialing since 1999.
