That in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations and other considerations

1. All eyeglass services shall be provided by prior written authorization by the
Weld County Department of Social Services.
2. Glasses are provided for children (up to age 21) of recipients of Aid to

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 $12.00; The County to pay $10.00;
the patient to pay $2.00. If the examining doctor feels tonometry is advisable
and performed, an additional $4.00 may be added for this service.
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 for lenses
from the current Bausch and Lomb price list. If photo-gray lenses are chosen,
the patient is to pay the difference in cost between clear lenses and photo-
gray lenses.
5. The cost of frames is determined by a standard frame service fee of $6.00 plus
actual laboratory cost of the frame from the manufacturer'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 will pay the additional laboratory
price over $6.00.
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 is to pay 15 per cent, to the nearest dollar, of the lens and

8. The only exceptions to the above 15 per cent to be paid by the patient are
repairs and lens and frame replacements.
9. All patient fees must be paid by receipt of the lenses and frames.
10. When submitting vouchers for payment, authorization forms and itemized state-
ments must accompany the vouchers. Along with the fees for services and lab-
oratory 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 adjudicating committee and non-payment of the statement.
11. A committee consisting of representatives of the Optometric and Opthalmological
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. This committee will furnish a semi-annual report
of expenditures of funds in detail to the County Department of Social Services
and the County Commissioners.
12. Only members in good standing in their respective and accredited society and/or
association will receive appointments as a participating member of the Social
Services Vision Care program.

County in its proper name and by its proper authorized officers, attested by its
Clerk and sealed, and said Association by its proper name and proper officers there-
unto duly authorized by it, the date first above mentioned.
