SCN Program
Specialized Clinical Nutrition (SCN) for eligible Medicaid members
Foodoor partners with authorized New York care programs to deliver medically tailored meals and grocery support to households managing chronic conditions, recovering from a medical event, or living with limited access to nutritious food. The program is fully covered for qualifying Medicaid members — there is nothing to pay out of pocket.
Who qualifies for the program
Eligibility follows standardized New York State screening criteria. Most participants are referred by a care manager, but you can also start the process yourself — we will help verify the rest.

Common questions
- How much does the program cost?
- For eligible Medicaid members, the SCN Program is fully covered. You will never receive a bill, and there are no co-pays, delivery fees, or hidden charges.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to apply?
- A referral helps, but it is not required to start. You can submit the application on your own and our intake team will coordinate with your care manager or provider to confirm eligibility.
- What if other people in my household also have Medicaid?
- List them on the application. Household members enrolled in Medicaid can be included in the meal allocation so the program supports the whole family, not just one person.
- Can I get meals that fit cultural or religious dietary preferences?
- Yes. Menus are built to respect cultural and religious traditions — including halal, kosher-friendly and other preferences — alongside medical dietary needs.
- What areas do you deliver to?
- We currently serve households across Staten Island, the Bronx, and a growing list of Brooklyn ZIP codes. The application will confirm whether your address is in our delivery zone.
- How long does it take to start receiving meals?
- Most approved applicants receive their first delivery within one to two weeks of completing the application, depending on eligibility verification and delivery scheduling.
