Insurance Reimbursement
Massage therapy is a covered benefit with physician's prescription for worker's compensation cases, auto accident cases, and a few general health insurances.

Using your Flexible Spending Account
Do you have a flexible spending account? Do you know what one is? It allows you to save up to 40% on health related expenses not covered by your insurance plan. You can use your account for a variety of things...including therapeutic massage! According to the federal tax code, a qualified expense "must be to alleviate or prevent a physical or mental defect or illness". The majority of the clients at Standley Lake Massage Therapy seek our bodywork for help in conjunction with training injuries, chronic pain, stress, and other issues, which all qualify!
For those of you who haven't started reaping the benefits, an FSA is a tax-advantage financial account designed to help pay for qualified health-related expenses, offered through your employer's benefits package. The money you designate for your FSA is taken from your check, before taxes. This can create a 40%+ tax savings! Check with your provider to see if you have a Flexible Spending Account option.
What do you need to do? Schedule your appointment, and let us know that you will need a receipt to submit for your FSA. We will provide you with a receipt that has the correct medical documentation (a classification code and description of the therapeutic bodywork). We can either email this receipt or print it for you.
You also may want to talk with your representative of your plan to see if a doctor's recommendation is necessary. Some plans need it - some don't.
And for all of you already using your flexible spending account - let us know if you need receipts for past sessions.
Purchase a series of massages with your FSA and really save!!!
