Hi there,

We want to make you aware of an important update that could affect your care.

UnitedHealthcare and NYSHIP are currently proposing contract changes that may significantly reduce or eliminate coverage for services many of our patients rely on—such as massage therapy, acupuncture, trigger point injections, and other integrative treatments.

These changes are being pursued without clear communication to providers or members, and they could directly impact your ability to access the care that supports your health and quality of life.

A petition has been created by union members to oppose these changes. We encourage you to review and sign it here: https://www.change.org/p/protect-medical-massage-therapy-coverage-for-nyship-patients

If you have connections with union leadership, local congressmen, and news outlets, we strongly advise reaching out and advocating to maintain these essential services. Your voice can make a real difference.

We are committed to supporting your health and will continue to keep you informed as this situation develops.
