Appendix A - Fee Schedule For Services Purchased by NCBVI

The program maintains a fee schedule for services purchased by NCBVI to contain cost and to assure the availability of program services to the largest number of individuals with significant disabilities. The intent of the schedule is to assure costs are the lowest reasonable cost for program services purchased from third party providers, while allowing for sufficient flexibility to meet an applicant's or recipient's needs. Copies of relevant fee schedules will be made available by contacting the Lincoln Office of NCBVI.
