Massage Therapy Billing
Efficient Massage Therapy Billing Services to Boost Your Practice
Specialized massage therapy billing can be a great asset to massage therapy practices that provide therapeutic treatments devoted to the relief of pain, the reduction of stress, and the general betterment of wellness. The treatments alone may range from therapeutic massage to more specialized modalities, including deep tissue massage, sports massage, and myofascial release—all of which, if medically necessary, can indeed be billed to insurance. Due to these complexities in insurance coverage for massage therapy, precise billing and coding are crucial to ensure maximum reimbursement and healthy practice finances.
Medical billing for massage usually comes with its own set of problems because of the difference in coverage policies of most insurances. Some health insurance providers cover massage therapy for some ailments, such as musculoskeletal injury, chronic pain, or post-operative rehabilitation; others do not. If it is covered, a practitioner must document the medical necessity of the procedure and include the diagnosis code ICD-10 and the procedure code CPT to have a smooth claims process.
A major headache when it comes to massage therapy insurance billing is how preauthorization works, wherein an insurance provider may require prior approval of services rendered. That really complicates things, because a single mistake or omission in the documentation might result in denial or overall delay of reimbursement. Additionally, many massage therapists work in multidisciplinary practices with chiropractors, physical therapists, or physicians and should, therefore, coordinate their billing across different types of care to ensure all services are appropriately recorded and billed.
