How to Maximize Your NYSHIP Benefits

To make the most of your insurance coverage:

• Confirm if custom orthotics or surgery are considered “medically necessary” under your plan; this often determines whether they are covered.
• Ask about co-pays, deductibles, or any cost sharing. We’ll help you understand what you’re responsible for.
• Bring your NYSHIP insurance card, photo ID, and any relevant medical history or prior referrals to your first appointment.
• If your plan supports out-of-network care, we will assist with any paperwork and explain potential additional cost.
