Except for automobile accident insurance, insurance rarely covers massage therapy, even when it is ordered by a physician. However, some of our clients have Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Accounts (HSA) that enable them to claim massage therapy as a benefit, and occasionally someone has an insurance plan that is unusually generous. Using your FSA or HSA to recover what you spend with us could realize a substantial discount (which will vary depending upon your tax bracket). Your insurance company may require a physician referral for this. Some insurance companies may also reimburse a set dollar amount similar to when you get a little money back for having a gym membership.

Overall, it can't hurt to inquire with your insurance to see if they have any benefits for massage that you were not aware of. If you call your company, make sure they understand that you are discussing payment for massage therapy and not physical therapy.​​
