  • DO YOU DIRECT BILL TO EXTENDED HEALTH BENEFITS?

  • WILL MY EXTENDED HEALTH PLAN COVER MY RMT SESSION? IF SO, HOW MUCH?
    Every plan is different, but the vast majority cover registered massage therapy. How much depends on each individual plan. It may either be a specific amount per visit or a percentage of the fee. It is best to contact your benefits administrator before making an appointment if you are concerned about reimbursement.
  • DO YOU ACCEPT ICBC AND WCB CLAIMS?
    We no longer direct bill to ICBC. Currently WCB only accepts direct billing from individual practitioners. If you have an WBC claim we suggest you talk with your adjuster to see if you can add massage therapy to your treatment without direct billing.

    In general, you do not need to have a referral to see a Registered Massage Therapist, however, if you are using your extended health care plan some health care plans require a doctor's referral, please check with your plan administrator for the details of your individual health plan.
