VISION CARE CONTRACT - 1979
This contract executed at Greeley, Colorado this 27th day of December, 1978, by
and between the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, hereinafter
called the County, and the Weld County Association of Optometrists and Ophthal-
mologists, hereinafter called the Association.
WITNESSETH:
That in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations and other considera-
tions herein expressed, it is mutually agreed until December 31, 1979 that:
1. All eyeglass services shall be provided by prior written authorization by the
Weld County Department of Social Services.
Participating optometrists and ophthalmologists, as well as social services
staff must cooperatively monitor use of this program in order to utilize the
limited funds effectively and efficiently.
2. Glasses are provided for children (up to age 21) of recipients of Aid to Families
with Dependent Children (AFDC) and for children in Foster Care, through MEDICAID.
Children of General Assistance recipients and eligible adults will be provided
glasses through this contract within funding limitations.
3. The fee for examination is established at $22.00: The County to pay $18. 00;
the patient to pay $4.00. If the examining doctor feels tonometry is essential
and is performed, an additional $4. 00 may be billed for this service.
4. The cost of lenses is to be determined by a standard lens service fee of $7.00
per pair for single vision lenses; $10. 00 per pair for bifocal lenses; and
$13.00 per pair for trifocal lenses, plus laboratory prescription prices for
lenses from the current Bausch and Lomb price list. Deluxe/Photogray lenses
are excluded; if chosen, the patient must pay any additional costs.
5. The cost of frames is determined by a standard frame service allowance of $10. 00
plus actual laboratory cost of the frame (to $12.00 maximum) from the manufac-
turer's current price list. If a lower priced frame is used, the county will be
billed the lower cost. If a higher priced frame is used, the patient must pay
costs exceeding the $12.00 maximum allowance.
6. Temples and minor frame repairs not exceeding $5.00 in cost are to be billed at
customary charges. Lens and frame replacements are to be billed as stated in
paragraphs 4 and 5.
7. The patient must pay $4.00 for the examination plus all other costs exceeding
the maximum allowances - before receipt of the lenses and frames.
8. When submitting vouchers for payment, authorization forms and itemized statements
must accompany the vouchers. Along with the fees for services and laboratory
costs, the statement must show the patient's name, prescription, type of lenses
provided (single vision, bifocal, or trifocal), and amounts paid by the patient.
Failure to comply with these provisions will result in disapproval by the adjudi-
cating committee and non-payment of the billing.
9. A committee consisting of representatives of the Optometrist and Ophthalmological
professions will recommend policies and initiate procedures of the program and
will review the billings and adjudicate any unusual fees. Billings will be
adjudicated quarterly the first three quarters of the year and monthly the fourth
quarter of the year.
