Massage Insurance Billing

Massage Insurance Billing is another way to increase your income and build your massage business. While WA is the only states that allow you to become a contracted provider with insurance companies such as HMO's and PPO's, motor vehicle accidents and labor and industries does allow massage therapists in most states to bill insurance. Florida will also pay massage therapists. There are some states that allow you to bill an HMO or PPO on an individual basis without having to be a contracted provider.

Billing insurance for massage can help you to create a stable massage business. Getting every state to allow massage therapists to bill insurances will be a difficult process but well worth it. In addition to you having a steady flow of clients, billing insurance and working with doctors will show people that massage is a health care profession and is a valuable service. It will help it to be seen in a better light and help make it more respected in general.
