WITNESSETH:
That in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations and other con-

3. The fee for examination is established at $12.00; the County to pay $10.00;

4. The cost of lenses is to be determined by a standard lens service fee of
$5.00 per pair for single vision lenses, $7.00 per pair for bifocal lenses,
and $9.00 per pair for trifocal lenses plus laboratory prescription prices

$5.00 plus actual laboratory cost of the frame from the manufacturer's cur-
rent price list. If a lower priced frame is used, the County will be billed

additional laboratory price over $5.00.

replacements.
9. All patient fees must be paid by receipt of the lenses and frames.

statements must accompany the vouchers. Along with the fees for services
and laboratory costs, the statement must show the patient's name, pre-
scription, type of lenses provided (single vision, bifocal or trifocal)

mological professions will recommend policies and initiate procedures of
the program and will review the billings and adjudicate any unusual fees.
