AOA Communications Program
Practice Transitions: "Strategies for Making Them Happen"

VisionWeb offers services to help streamline and simplify the eye care practice by automating eye care product ordering and insurance transaction processing.

By using VisionWeb's services, you and your staff will spend more time with patients and less time on the phone with suppliers and insurance companies.

The AOA plays a very important role in helping VisionWeb best serve the optical industry.

Recognizing the benefits associated with using VisionWeb's services - speed, efficiency, increased accuracy - the AOA became involved with VisionWeb to help bring these benefits to the eye care practice through VisionWeb's AOA Royalty Program.

This program allows you to contribute non-dues revenue to your AOA state affiliate.

Because VisionWeb is not a buying group, you can continue to enjoy buying group benefits while contributing to your state affiliate's ability to raise non-dues revenue when you place eye care product orders online, free through VisionWeb's online ordering service.

Under the terms of the AOA Royalty Program, VisionWeb will pay participating AOA affiliates a royalty on transaction fees generated by their members' orders placed through VisionWeb's online ordering service.

One order transaction occurs every time an order is submitted via VisionWeb's online ordering service.
The transaction fee is paid by the supplier receiving the order - ordering on VisionWeb is free to eye care providers.

AOA members are encouraged to take advantage of this program and free online ordering with VisionWeb.

VisionWeb members are automatically enrolled in the AOA Royalty Program.

If you have not yet registered your practice on VisionWeb, register online at www.visionweb.com or call VisionWeb Customer Service at 800-874-6601.

This year, VisionWeb paid more than $47,000 in royalties to the participating state affiliates for orders received from June 2007 though May 2008.

Each state affiliate must agree to participate in the program in order to receive the royalties for orders.

Contact your state executive director to find out if your state affiliate participates in the VisionWeb AOA Royalty Program.

AOA state affiliates interested in participating in the program, or learning more about how VisionWeb can contribute to non-dues revenue, are encouraged to contact VisionWeb at 512-241-8561 or e-mail
