Vision Benefits Grp's premium is heavily concentrated geographically, with $31.1M in Pennsylvania and $4.58M in Delaware accounting for the majority of reported US premium. The compact footprint across 6 states produces a small national membership base of 5.2K, meaning the payer's negotiating leverage and network design are likely strongest at the state level rather than nationally. For provider contracting, this concentration implies more targeted state-based negotiations and fewer benefits from national-scale contracting.
The regional skew toward the Mid-Atlantic indicates providers in Delaware and Pennsylvania will encounter the most material commercial exposure to this payer. Network adequacy, reimbursement levels, and administrative integration efforts should prioritize those states where premium and membership are concentrated, while other states represent marginal exposure.
State-by-State Market Position
Vision Benefits Grp shows its strongest presence in the Northeast / Mid-Atlantic. Pennsylvania and Delaware are the top states by premium, with $31.1M and $4.58M respectively, which suggests the payer focuses operations and product distribution in that corridor. New Jersey and Maryland show modest premium exposure, while Missouri and West Virginia are peripheral markets by comparison.
For multi-state provider groups, the payer's clustered footprint favors establishing agreements and performance pathways concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic rather than pursuing broad multi-state arrangements. Providers with significant business in Pennsylvania and Delaware should prioritize operational integration and negotiated terms with Vision Benefits Grp given the concentration of $35.7M of premium across those two states.

| 35–44 | 16 | 1 | 46 | 6 | 489 | 2 | 150 | 708 |
| 45–54 | 16 | 0 | 43 | 6 | 481 | 2 | 150 | 699 |
| 55–64 | 17 | 0 | 46 | 6 | 541 | 2 | 180 | 793 |
| 65–74 | 9 | 0 | 24 | 4 | 332 | 2 | 132 | 503 |
| 75+ | 6 | 0 | 18 | 3 | 249 | 1 | 91 | 368 |
Nationally, the largest age bands are 55–64 (793 members), 35–44 (708), 45–54 (699), and 6–18 (768). This indicates a strong presence among both working-age adults and children, with a meaningful senior segment as well. The smallest segment is Under 6 (290), but even this group is non-trivial.
State-level variation is most pronounced in Pennsylvania, which dominates the member count across all age bands. Delaware and Missouri also have notable member counts, while other states have much smaller populations. No state skews dramatically older or younger than the national profile, though Delaware and Missouri have slightly higher proportions of children and pre-retirees.
Estimated Members by State
VISION BENEFITS GRP's estimated member base is highly concentrated in a few states. Pennsylvania accounts for the largest share, with approximately 3,569 members, followed by Delaware with 1,165 members and Missouri with 321. The remaining states—New Jersey (109), Maryland (42), West Virginia (17), and District Of Columbia (3)—have much smaller member populations.
This distribution aligns with the premium volume and market share data, where Pennsylvania and Delaware are the primary markets for the payer. The relatively small member counts in other states suggest a limited footprint and lower provider exposure outside these core areas. For providers, this means that contracting with VISION BENEFITS GRP is most relevant in Pennsylvania and Delaware, with minimal impact elsewhere. Multi-state provider groups will find the payer's influence highly localized, and should prioritize engagement in these key states.
