Who publishes this site?
Content is published under the NYSHIP.rehab editorial resource name. We do not list individual authors or medical reviewers, because none have been assigned; we will not invent credentials. We are not a treatment provider, insurer, broker or government agency.
How are guides researched?
- Plan figures come from the official January 2026 Empire Plan At A Glance guides (PE and C-82), cited by printed page number.
- Clinical background comes from federal sources such as NIDA, NIAAA, SAMHSA, CDC and FDA.
- Employment and privacy information comes from DOL, HHS and ADA.gov.
- AI tools may assist drafting; every factual claim is checked against the cited source before publication.
Summaries can change. The Empire Plan Certificate and Certificate amendments control.
How do corrections work?
When we find or are told about an error, we verify it against the primary source, correct the page and update its date. See the contact page for how to reach the right official resource.
