Vision to learn is coming to NPAA

Dear Parent or Guardian:

NPAA is excited to announce a partnership with Vision To Learn to provide vision services to students. This includes an undilated, comprehensive eye exam and, if needed, eye glasses.

All this is available at no out-of-pocket cost to your family.

About Vision To Learn

Vision To Learn is a non-profit organization working in communities across the U.S. offering vision services to students in support of their academic achievement.

Student Vision Services Vision screenings will take place at your student’s school. If your child does not pass the screening, they will be referred to the Vision To Learn mobile clinic to receive a routine eye exam by an independent, licensed optometrist. If needed, your child may also be prescribed glasses. The optometrist may also identify and refer students in need of follow-up vision

care. Eye exams do not involve eye drops or dilation.

Vision To Learn follows CDC, state and federal regulations including staff daily health screenings, the use of Personal Protective Equipment for staff and students, and thorough disinfection between patients. Vision To Learn is committed to following best practices to prioritize the safety of our students. All Vision To Learn staff are fully vaccinated.

Student Information for Vision Services

Your program site will share your child’s name, date of birth, gender, parent/guardian name, demographic and contact information, and vision screening results with Vision To Learn. Vision To Learn will share your child’s eye exam information with the school.

Medicaid Benefit Usage Receiving vision services provided by this program will constitute a comprehensive eye exam and – as needed – eyeglasses and dispensing of glasses that will be billed to your child’s 2024-25 Medicaid vision benefit, if applicable. Please note that a no-cost eye exam and eyeglasses will be provided even if your insurance cannot be billed. You may receive a notice called an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance carrier with

information regarding the services billed and the payments that have been approved, but you will not receive any bill for the services or eyeglasses.
