Your senses are essential, and we are in the business of helping to protect them. In 1978, Avēsis began as a regional ancillary benefits administrator. Today, we are a thriving national organization with 14 regional offices. Our growth—to a benefits provider for more than one million commercial members and more than eight million government members around the country—shows we're doing things right. Healthcare costs continue to soar, costing American families more in out-of-pocket expenses and taxes. (1) This challenges everyone—medical health professionals, health plans, and employers—to deliver competent care or coverage for it in the most cost-effective manner possible. Our core values of accountability, empowerment, excellence, and integrity help drive us to meet this challenge for our clients and members. Avēsis commercial vision insurance products are underwritten by Fidelity Security Life Insurance Company® (FSL), Kansas City, MO, when insured by FSL.
