Medicaid Health Plan Policy
Children and Adults are covered in full for exam and glasses.
Starting October 2022 we can put NEW Adult Partnership patients on a waiting list. We will call you and make an appointment when slots become available. To get your name on the waiting list go the the Make Appointment part of this web page. We hope to change this in the near future.
This plan works like any other insurance that we are providers for. Medicaid will cover an eye exam every 2 years. They cover single vision lenses and flat top lined bifocal lenses once every 2 years.
Starting in January of 2020 the Medicaid program requires us to send all glasses orders the Prison Industries Lab. That now means the any extras such as Transitions, no line bifocals and thinner lighter lenses will not be available. The only way to get any of these upgrades is to pay for the whole job privately.
This is beyond our control. Please contact you local state representatives if you want these options restored. Senator Mike McGuire: 707-445-6508; Assembly member Jim Wood: (707) 445-7014
