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.

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 or acupuncture), the therapist’s name and their association number. Clients usually request these at the end of a set of treatments. Please allow 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.
