Financial eligibility for Aid to the Blind - Remedial Care Program will be determined by applying the Medicaid eligibility factors, as specified in Service Chapter 510-05.
Medical eligibility for Aid to the Blind - Remedial Care Program is established in exactly the same manner as provided for under the blind component of Medical Assistance as described in Service Chapter 510-05, par. 05-30-35. Accordingly, refer to that section of the manual for the procedure relative to certification of all Aid to the Blind - Remedial Care Program applications. The authorization for the initial examination and all subsequent authorizations for Aid to the Blind - Remedial Care Program are issued in the state office, but the county social service board must request all authorizations for the specific treatment of the eye condition.
