It is up to the optical to somehow turn a profit by accepting the reduced reimbursement while still using whatever suppliers they have at their disposal. So will you be applying for the job? If so, please send me your resume via e-mail! Utah does not provide medicaid approved frames nor do they have a certain lab that you must use.

I have been reading your articles because I was interested in the information you have provided. I worked for an Optometrist in Florida for almost 10 years. I understand your concerns about Medicaid. I do not know about Utah, but in Florida, we were provided with a kit to dsipense frames from, we were provided with a Medicaid Lab, and the patient only paid for any upgrades not provided by Medicaid. We often gave the patient their spectacle rx, mainly because they did not like the frames that were available to them from Medicaid. They had the option to purchase frames/lenses from the office of their choice. Some would and some would not. Also as a note, I do know the State of Utah recently revamped their guidelines on Medicaid for Vision and Glasses. Some of these benefits are not being made available to some Medicaid Plans. Hope this information is helpful in some way. Respectfully, Diane I noticed that you had a job opening advertised in the Logan Newspaper.
