VSP Vision Care for Children-Eyes Of Hope-announce programmatic "long" pause.
7/16/2024

CSNO recently meet with the VSP-Vision Care for Children Eyes of Hope representatives, who shared that VSP vision exams and certificate dissemination will be taking a long pause. This pause include halting dissemination with all partners nationally. On a calendar year, representatives shared that 80% of their annual budget has already been expensed.  School nurses still in possession of unexpired certificates may still share them with families who
lack current vision insurance.

During discussion with CSNO, program representatives shared they are updating process for certificate dissemination. They envision a tracking system where the school nurse may report once certificates have been disseminated to families, families make an appointment to use the certificate, and then once redeemed and used by the eye care practitioners.  CSNO knows this have a huge impact on families seeking eye care. CSNO will keep our members informed as soon as we hear from VSP Vision Care for Children-Eyes Of Hope.
