Does health insurance cover massage therapy?
The answer to this question is – it depends. Some health insurance companies are starting to offer massage therapy as a discounted service while a few others will cover massage therapy for medical reasons if you have a physicians referral. The best thing that you can do is to check your benefits manual, call a representative for your health insurance, or possibly even ask your doctor.
