Are my treatments covered by insurance?
Q.
Is there a difference between Registered Massage Therapy and
Shiatsu Therapy?
A. Yes. These
are different modalities and usually referred to separately
in your statement of coverage. Shiatsu is a form
of therapy that provides varying levels of comfortable,
appropriate holding pressure on various related pressure
points found within the body. Shiatsu is an ancient form of
eastern therapeutic practice. RMT (registered massage
therapy) is a western form of massage and is not related to
shiatsu or eastern therapeutic practices. RMT treatments are
available in the professional clinic, please specify what
kind of treatment you wish to have when booking your
appointment.
Q.
Do you do direct billing?
A. No.
Payment is due at the time of treatment but we can issue you
an ‘insurance letter’ to submit for reimbursement.
Q.
How do I know if I am covered?
A. Every plan is
different so we recommend you contact your provider and ask.
Q.
What can you provide me with to submit to my insurance
company?
A. We can issue
you an ‘insurance letter’ with your name, the type of
treatment you receive (shiatsu, acupuncture or registered
massage therapy), the
therapist’s name and their association number. Clients
usually request these at the end of a set of treatments or
immediately after their treatment.
Letters generally can be prepared very quickly but utmost
please allow for 2 weeks to process.
Q.
How can I get my insurance provider to cover my treatments
if they do not already do so?
A. We encourage
you to ask for what you want. Be very clear that you are not
asking for more coverage – just choice in coverage. The
Shiatsu Therapy Association of Ontario has a form letter
that it’s member’s give to clients to help them request
shiatsu coverage. Please ask at reception for a copy.
