How to Get Scleral Lenses Covered by Healthfirst Medicaid in NYC

Living with severe corneal irregularities like Keratoconus can make everyday life in New York City challenging. When standard eyeglasses fail to give you clear vision, scleral lenses in NYC offer a lifechanging optical solution.

If you are enrolled in Healthfirst Medicaid, you don't have to pay out-of-pocket for these specialized devices. Because Healthfirst classifies Keratoconus treatment as a "medically necessary" condition, your fitting and lenses can be fully covered.

Finding a practice willing to handle Medicaid specialty lens paperwork is difficult. Patients travel from the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and throughout Manhattan to Green Eye Care because we specialize in this exact process.

How We Secure Healthfirst Prior Approvals
