How it works:
1.NYSHIP covers massage therapy as an out-of-network benefit. Once you meet your out-of-pocket deductible ($1250), your massage sessions can be covered by insurance.
2. In order to begin, ask your doctor for a prescription for massage therapy. The prescription must include a billable ICD-10 code(s) and end date to service.
3. It typically takes 6 sessions to meet your deductible. If you are seeing other providers at the same time (for example, an acupuncturist, physical therapist, etc), you may meet your deductible sooner.
