MASS considers applications for subsidy funding from prescribers who submit an application on behalf of an applicant. MASS determines the administrative and clinical eligibility of the applicant based on the information on the application form and clarification from prescriber or applicant as required.
Eligibility for subsidy funding assistance is detailed in the MASS Statewide Prescriber Procedures Manual and differs for each of the categories serviced by MASS. Refer to the rear of each of the procedure sections for information on who can prescribe to MASS on behalf of an applicant.
Eligibility for spectacles is detailed in the Spectacle Supply Scheme (SSS) Guidelines. Applications are completed by Optometrists/Opthalmologists in conjunction with spectacle dispensers on the Approved Dispenser List.
When received at MASS, applications are considered for administrative and clinical eligibility in accordance with the MASS Statewide Prescriber Procedures Manual. If eligible, applicants may be subject to a waiting period before receiving the aid, and may be requested to contribute towards the cost of the aid.
