On-site eye evaluations also will be performed by Dr. Michael Johnson. Students also will be linked to laboratory, X-ray and pharmacy services. Every student will be eligible for care, regardless of family income.

Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance will be accepted (applicable co-pays will apply). Noninsured student fees will be a minimum of $5. There will be a $10 co-pay for a noninsured parent of a student or for a Gadsden City Schools faculty member.

All specialty labs, injections and X -rays are subject to additional costs.

No student will be turned away because of his or her inability to pay.
