Program Costs

Conexus is a private, 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to bringing best practice programs to our partners for the most affordable prices. The recent establishment of our Scholarship Fund supported by foundations, corporations, civic groups, fundraisers, and individual donors allows us to help offset the program fees, often providing as much as a 20-30% price reduction for our partners!

Available VisioCheck Options

As part of our unmatched comprehensive vision programming, all VisioCheck options provide the following handling of results:

• Full color, sorted, and batched individual screening reports on all students screened -- PASS and REFER. Parents want and need this information.
  
• Full color, postage paid referral cards with all REFER certificates to help track follow-up care
  
• Summary of results both by classroom and school to meet your mandated filing requirements
  
• Voucher access for students in need
  
• Reported follow-up activity based on returned referrals
  
• Annual program summary

The easiest way to fulfill your screening requirement:
Full Service Program

• Screenings are conducted by a credentialed and certified Conexus technician, and results are managed as listed above
  
• The cost of the VisioCheck Full Service Option is $10/child screened; however, that cost may be reduced by as much as 20-30% depending on the availability of scholarship funds in your area.  You can use this automatic cost estimator to determine a base cost, then contact Melissa Perry to determine if there additional discounts currently available for your school.
  

Another way to potentially reduce your costs:
VisioCheck Support Service

• Screenings are conducted by your nurses or other qualified staff and uploaded to be processed by Conexus as outlined above
• Training on the use of the equipment and program process is provided to your screener(s)
  
• Equipment is loaned to your trained screener(s), if needed

The cost of the VisioCheck Support Service Option is $4/child screened. To learn more about this option or to schedule VisioCheck Support Services for your school please contact Melissa Perry.

Through the efforts of a North Carolina pilot last spring and the generous support the Cabell Foundation and CBN, Conexus is now able to offer VisioCheck Support Service as an option when considering improved vision programs for schools and students.  If you’re not familiar with VisioCheck as a full service program, click here.

Conexus has been asked about providing support services over the last few years because introducing technology comes with a learning curve.  Many of our friends who wanted to integrate technology into their screening efforts quickly went out and purchased the expensive equipment, only to learn that getting the results they wanted required more than the “point and shoot” effort highlighted in the demo.  Linking an improved screening process to improved screening outcomes is a little more complex, which is why VisioCheck is a comprehensive program.

The Support Services option was derived to help our partners maximize the technology and get the results they wanted and expected through the purchase of their own technology.

What’s even more exciting is that through a recent grant, we’ve also started a “loaner” program to provide temporary equipment to schools who want to deliver their own screening to help save on costs!  By using the loaner program, schools can access the equipment without the expensive purchase, incurred annual depreciation, and responsibility of upgrades and maintenance!

Please Note: The loaner program has a limited amount of equipment all of which will be requested to fulfil screening requirements within the first 45 days of school.  Availability will be limited.
