MRHS partners with HealthPlus and EmblemHealth (GHI / HIP) to provide dependable, affordable care for New York residents.


If you carry HealthPlus NYC, you can access our entire range of primary care services—physical exams, chronic care management, same-day visits, and more—within your plan’s in-network benefits.


Our administrative team will confirm your benefits and any required referrals ahead of time so there are no surprises when you arrive.

If you’re looking for Simply Blue PPO providers, MRHS offers comprehensive preventive and ongoing primary care, along with coordinated referrals to our in-house specialists when needed.


Members benefit from transparent, negotiated pricing and nationwide Blue Cross portability.


What Does “In-Network” Mean?


“In-network” means that MRHS has agreed upon rates with your insurance carrier.


This allows you to receive care at lower costs compared with out-of-network providers.


When you visit MRHS, you can expect your benefits to be applied directly, minimizing paperwork and out-of-pocket expenses.


Why We Verify Your Coverage


Before every appointment, our team confirms your insurance details.


Verification ensures you know exactly what your visit will cost and prevents billing issues.


We recommend submitting your insurance information at least 48 hours before your appointment for the fastest confirmation.


Preventive Care and Specialty Coverage


Most plans cover preventive care such as annual physicals, immunizations, and routine screenings at no additional cost.


Services like chronic condition management, diagnostic testing, or specialist referrals may require a copay or deductible.


MRHS coordinates closely with our in-house specialists in pain management, rehabilitation, and physical therapy, verifying coverage when referrals are needed.


Out-of-Network and Self-Pay Options


If your plan is out of network, MRHS will provide a detailed super-bill you can submit to your insurer for partial reimbursement.


For patients without insurance, we offer transparent self-pay pricing for all services, including:



Payment can be made via major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, or flexible installment plans when applicable.


What to Bring to Your Appointment


To streamline your check-in:


  • A valid photo ID and current insurance card

  • Any referral or authorization if required by your plan

  • Payment for copays or coinsurance

  • For workers’ compensation or no-fault auto claims, please also bring your claim number or representative contact

Note: Our network is frequently updated. If your plan is not listed, please contact us at (212) 750-5088 to verify.

What does it mean to be "In-Network"?

Being "in-network" means MRHS has negotiated fixed rates with your insurance provider. This typically results in lower out-of-pocket costs for you, predictable pricing, and no "surprise" bills for covered services.

Do you accept patients without insurance?

Yes. For patients without insurance, we offer transparent self-pay pricing for all primary care services, including annual physicals, lab work, vaccinations, and diagnostic testing. We accept major credit cards and HSA/FSA cards.

What if my insurance is "Out-of-Network"?

If we do not participate in your specific plan's network, we can still provide care. We will provide you with a detailed "super-bill" that you can submit to your insurance company for potential partial reimbursement.

How do I verify my coverage before my appointment?

We recommend submitting your insurance information at least 48 hours before your visit. You can:


Are preventive services like annual physicals free?

Most insurance plans cover preventive care—such as annual exams, immunizations, and routine screenings—at no additional cost (zero-dollar copay) to the patient. We will verify this with your specific plan during the confirmation process.

Do I need a referral to see a specialist?

Some plans (particularly certain Healthfirst or HMO plans) require a referral from your primary care provider to see a specialist. If medically necessary, our clinicians provide timely referrals to our network of specialists in cardiology, dermatology, orthopedics, and more.

What should I bring to my appointment?

To ensure a smooth check-in and proper billing, please bring:


  • A valid photo ID (Driver's License or Passport).

  • Your current physical insurance card.

  • Any referral or authorization documentation required by your plan.

  • Payment for any applicable copay or coinsurance (due at the time of service).

Do you handle Workers’ Compensation or No-Fault claims?

Yes. For workers' compensation or auto accident claims, please bring your claim number and the contact information for your representative or attorney to your appointment.

Can I switch to MRHS as my designated Primary Care Provider (PCP)?

Absolutely. If your plan requires you to designate a specific PCP, you can usually do this through your insurance member portal or by calling their member services line. Our staff can provide the necessary clinician details to help you make the switch.
