INSURANCE MASSAGE

Currently I accept First Choice Health Network (which includes some Kaiser Permanente plans), and Personal Injury claims.

You need to have a script from a doctor (MD, DO, or ND), a nurse practitioner (NP), or a chiropractor (DC), in order for me to bill your insurance. While your insurance company may say you don’t need one to get massage, a lot of times the person on the phone with you doesn’t understand that I can’t write a script for you. Massage therapists are not legally allowed to diagnose, and so we cannot write our own scripts. Unfortunately, your physical therapist cannot write one for you, either.

Once you have a script from your provider, and you have confirmed your benefits with your insurance company, we can start treatment! It’s helpful for me to know in advance how many sessions you are allowed every year so that we don’t exceed them, but once I have your script, your insurance ID, and all of your information, you can let me handle the rest.

I cannot bill out-of-network claims, but am happy to give you a form to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement rates vary depending on your plan, and insurance companies only reimburse 60 minute sessions. If you want to go this route, you can book and pay for a regular 60 minute session with me, and just let me know you need the form at your session. It is still advised that you have a script so that we can fill in the correct diagnosis codes assigned by your physician.
