Cincinnati insurance is the recommended insurance for OD’s for several reasons. One is the broad professional coverage. For instance, did you know some companies exclude surgical procedures? There are 15 optometric insurance codes that count as Surgical Procedures. Cincinnati’s Optometrist Program provides coverage that includes all procedures that you are licensed to perform. And if you own a practice, Cincinnati’s package is second to none, providing coverage for:

• flood and earthquake as covered perils for business personal property and business income
• full business personal property limits and business income actual loss for claims from water backup of sewers or sump pumps
• business income actual loss for 12 months from covered claims
• package and professional coverage on the same policy
• pure consent, which requires your written consent to settle professional liability claims

Interstate Optical was founded in 1977 by entrepreneur Raymond Art Sr. With roots as an optical sales rep, having personally experienced the daily needs of his customers, Ray’s goal was to start a laboratory that put quality first and was passionate about serving the needs of its customers.

In 2008, Interstate partnered with Essilor to be able to provide their advanced technology and products, while maintaining their family business culture. In 2011, Indiana-based lab, GK Optical, merged with Interstate, and in 2018, another Indiana-based laboratory, LensTech Optical was added, forming the Interstate Lab Group.  Now operating simply as Interstate Ohio and Interstate Indy, Interstate continues to operate with the same founding principles, under the guidance of Ray’s sons John and Rob Art, and grandson and namesake Raymond Art.
