Budget Round Initial Bill
Half Sheet Number 304 #1c
Description

This amendment adds language requiring the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) to revise its contracts with Medicaid and FAMIS managed care organizations to include MCO provider agreements to provide access to mobile vision services in localities where local school divisions or schools have written agreements with mobile vision providers as an alternative service delivery model to increase access to vision services for children. Eye exams and glasses provided at  bricks and mortar optometry practices are currently covered by Medicaid and FAMIS. Language allows for the comprehensive vision exam to include the use of alternative technology that bypasses the need for dilation of the eye. Language requires the department to require MCOs to expedite enrollment and credentialing of mobile vision providers and to work with the managed care organizations to offer a variety of lens and frame options for children in any setting.
