This is a Medicare Supplement product which may be purchased with or without prescription benefits (Part D).  In 1998, we expanded Infinity Trust by adding a nationwide stand-alone vision product underwritten by Vision Service Plan (VSP). 

We offer 10 specially designed plans companies from which to choose.  This allows employers to best meet both their employees' and their family’s vision needs.  It may be written on a voluntary or contributory basis.  We offer benefits for as few as 2 employees, or this product may also be written on an individual basis .
