Massage Clinic in the Tacoma Area Informs Their Clientele Their Services May be Covered by Health Insurance

A massage clinic in the Tacoma area, Unlocking the Body Massage, wants to inform their clientele that there is a good chance that some of the massage therapy services they offer may be covered by health insurance. Those at this reputable clinic are hoping that this opens up much more opportunity for their clients to explore the many different types of massage therapies that they offer. Clinic personnel said that clients with health insurance may also be able to increase the number of sessions they attend in a month. The clinic’s office staff has even offered to help their clients determine if they are eligible for insurance covered massage therapy sessions.

Clinic owner, Jennifer Bull, had this to say on the matter, “Many of our clients do not realize that a good percentage of our massage therapy treatments are eligible to be covered by health insurance. We pride ourselves on offering great customer service and we feel letting our clients know this is all part of that. Our clinic encourages every one of our clients to call their health insurance provider to enquire about this. It never hurts to try and if they say yes it can save our regular clients a good deal of money. For those on a budget who have medical insurance coverage, this can also help to increase the number of therapy sessions they attend and encourage them to explore some other massage treatments that were originally left out because of cost concerns.”

Bull went on to add that clients cannot simply schedule an appointment and show up at their massage in Puyallup clinic and expect their therapy session to be covered by insurance. There is a set protocol that needs to be followed. She says it all starts by getting a consultation with a Doctor, Naturopath, Chiropractor, Physician’s Assistant, Nurse Practitioner, or another medical professional. Once this is done, that medical professional will give the client a diagnosis code saying that massage therapy is a recommended part of their medical treatment. The staff at Unlocking the Body Massage will work with the client every step of the way during this process. The company spokesperson went on to say that some of the health insurance carriers that typically cover their services include Regence, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Amazon, Teamsters, First Choice Health Network, VA - Community Care, Kaiser Options or Access, and United Healthcare. She also added that victims of car accidents, personal injuries, and work-related injuries are also eligible to have their massage therapy sessions paid for by insurance. Bull also mentioned that those whose insurance provider does not cover their massage therapy sessions; they are eligible for a first-time discount to try the clinic out.

According to Bull, Unlocking the Body Massage offers a large selection of massage and other helpful therapies. She says that this includes such therapies as medical massage therapy, ais active isolated stretching, shiatsu massage, craniosacral therapy, and cupping therapy. They also have licensed massage therapist that can perform fascial stretch therapy, flotation therapy, gua sha therapy, hot stone massage, Kinesio taping, prenatal massage, and reflexology. They even offer massage for athletes in Puyallup.

Bull says that they also want to inform their clients that their clinic will remain open during the current pandemic. They are doing this because they know how important many of their massage therapy sessions are to the clients that rely on them. The clinic spokesperson says that there are some new ground rules in effect because of the current virus situation that are designed to help both the staff and clients stay safe. One of them is that every client will be required to come into the clinic with a mask on. Those at the clinic are also asking that any clients that are experiencing flu-like symptoms to please reschedule their appointments to a later date.

The company spokesperson added that anyone who would like more information on their services or help determining insurance eligibility should feel free to call or text them for assistance.
