• I work in a practice with multiple doctors. Can we all sign up for the VSP Individual Plans Doctor Program and receive advertising payments?

  Your practice can sign up for the VSP Individual Vision Plans Doctor Program. However, individual doctors within your practice cannot sign up separately.
