Is massage covered by health care insurance?
Registered massage therapist Treatment Fees are covered by most extended health care benefits and automobile insurance policies. The MTAA membership number is an important piece of information necessary for reimbursement by health insurance providers. It is important to note that ALL third-party insurance companies in Canada recognize MTAA membership numbers. Ensure that this number along with the MTAA member’s name is legible on your receipt.
It depends completely on your insurance. Mine covers massage, but it is part of treatment. So as long as the doc puts it in my treatment plan it is covered. It has to be used for a specific problem, for me it is back pain.
