VSP Ambassador Program

Your peer-to-peer resource for all things VSP.

VSP Ambassadors work closely with other VSP network doctors to elevate ideas and opportunities to deliver value to private practice doctors, and provide feedback that shapes solutions to support the long-term success of the profession. Additionally, VSP Ambassadors share VSP updates and resources with peers, acting as a resource to help answer questions about VSP Vision policies, products, and services.

“As a VSP Ambassador I am able to share information from colleagues in my state directly to VSP.  I also provide VSP with guidance that shapes programs and resources that help doctors find success as network providers.”

- Bryan Heitmeyer, OD, MBA

“My role as a VSP Ambassador is to be a conduit of VSP knowledge to network doctors and back to VSP with questions and opinions from my peers. In this role, I like being the first to know about enhancements to VSP plans that affect practices and patients. After new information is delivered, I like having direct contact with VSP staff to get member doctor’s questions answered and pass on their favorable or unfavorable opinions. I have enjoyed collaborating with Ambassadors from all 50 states, with VSP staff and network doctors so much so that I have continued in this role for over 35 years.”

- Robert Bass, OD, FAAO

“Being a VSP Ambassador has been an amazing experience.  VSP is the only third party I know of willing to invest in and listen to its member doctors, and they do this to create the best experience for our patients – their members – a truly collaborative relationship.”

- Tim Fries, OD, MBA, MPH, FAAO
