NH DDU Form 901 Report of Eye Examination

New Hampshire's Disability Determination Unit uses this report from an ophthalmologist or optometrist to decide eligibility for Aid to the Needy Blind (ANB) cash and medical assistance. Page one holds the applicant's release of eye records to DHHS; the examiner then documents history, best-corrected acuity, visual fields, tonometry, refraction, diagnosis for each eye, prognosis and recommendations.

Who completes it

The ophthalmologist or optometrist completes the history, physical examination, diagnosis and prognosis sections and signs with exam and report dates. The applicant, a parent of a minor, a guardian or another authorized representative signs the release, which is valid for 12 months.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
The form asks the examiner to return the completed report directly to the DHHS District Office, with the bill attached when the patient has no Medicaid card.
Who pays
If the patient presents a Medicaid ID card, bill on your usual Medicaid invoice; if not, the form asks you to submit your bill along with the report.

Good to know

  • Visual acuity is recorded with best correction at distance (20 feet) and near (14 inches) for each eye, plus overall acuity with and without correction.
  • When visual fields are abnormal, field charts must accompany the report, with the type and size of target and the test distance described.
  • Refraction findings (sphere, cylinder, axis, add) are expected; if refraction was not done at this exam, give the date it was last done.
  • Prognosis items include stability or rate of progression, activity limits, whether treatment is indicated, whether a low vision aid evaluation is recommended and when to reexamine.
