Insurance Billing
Many clients ask if massage therapists can bill insurance. The short answer is yes….and no - but soon!
Massage therapists in Alaska have been able to bill auto accident, workers compensation, and personal injury insurance for many years.
In 2014, a group of dedicated and determined massage therapists introduced a bill in the Alaska Legislature that established a State Board of Massage Therapy. This effort was many years in the making and was largely celebrated by the Massage community.
This translates into the ability for massage therapists who choose to offer the service, to bill private health insurance for massage therapy starting in late Summer or early Fall of 2015!
While not every insurance plan covers massage, many do. With a Doctor’s referral, massage therapy is often a covered service.
