If you’re a member of the 1199SEIU Benefit and Pension Funds, you may be wondering: “Can I see a specialist like an oculoplastic surgeon using my insurance?”
The answer is yes — and you have options right here in New York City.
What Is an Oculoplastic Surgeon?
An oculoplastic surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in surgery around the eyes — including eyelid repair, tear duct procedures, and treatment for eye socket conditions. It’s a unique combination of ophthalmology and facial plastic surgery.
What Conditions Are Covered?
Many eye and eyelid issues treated by oculoplastic surgeons are considered medically necessary, such as:
- Droopy eyelids (ptosis)
- Blocked tear ducts
- Skin cancer excision near the eye
- Orbital fractures and trauma
These may be covered under your 1199SEIU insurance benefits, depending on the diagnosis and medical need.
