Insurance Coverage

Insurance companies normally do not cover massage treatments. 

If you have a condition you feel would benefit from treatment, most Doctors will prescribe Physical Therapy before Massage Therapy. The best I can offer is receipts for your treatments.  If you submit the receipt along with a doctors prescription for Massage you may get some reimbursement. May....

However, if you should happen to have the misfortune of a car accident you ARE COVERED for Massage Therapy... up to 3 times a week for 8 weeks.

Of course, there are steps you are required to take.

First you must have a prescription from a doctor indicating Massage Therapy is necessary. It must include diagnosis codes and the Doctors ID #.  If you need assistance finding a doctor, you can contact Dr. Aliani at 2dcs4u@optonline.net.  We work hand in hand. 

Then you must complete the following forms - HIFCA - No Fault Information - Indicate Form - and my Client Information Form.   (Click the links to view and/or print the forms)  Once you have completed all of the required information, we can schedule appointments and begin your Therapy.

Please keep in mind... After 8 weeks the insurance company will send you to an IME (Indepentent Medical Examiner) where more than likely they will deny all, and any, futher treatments... whatever they are. 

It is in your best interest to obtain the best treatment possible within that time frame. 
Remember there are many modalities available - choose the best for your situation!
