PIP and Workers Compensation Insurance Billing for
Medical Massage Therapy in Florida
It is not hard to find a massage therapist any more. However, it is difficult to find a really good massage therapist. Most of the good ones are really busy, and few are interested in filing your pip or Worker's Compensation insurance forms. Few of them accept any insurance assignment or do medical massage.
But not at ESG Massage Therapy! We are happy to file all of your PIP or workers compensation insurance papers, and we do all of your insurance claim billing in a timely manner.
Depending on your coverage, your health insurance plan may cover medical massage therapy in a number of different situations:
1. Relief of chronic pain due to a disease such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, lupus, back or neck pain, headaches or other long-term chronic condition. Massage therapy can bring great relief for patients suffering from these conditions.
2. Relief of pain due to injury. In auto accidents your car insurance or the other driver's auto insurance, PIP, will also cover medical and accident massage therapy treatments. Your physician will provide us with a prescription for your treatments, which we will closely follow.
3. Reduction of stress that may cause or be causing another condition such as anxiety, hypertension, depression, and others. Stress is a naturally occurring result of being injured in an accident and massage can help you to manage it.
We file personal injury protection and workers comp and Workman's Compensation insurance for all of these conditions.
What you need to do:
The ordering physician must state what condition, accident injury or illness, the massage therapy is expected to provide relief from. Generally this must be included on the written order or prescription and is best expressed as an ICD-9 code, a code that stands for your condition and understood by insurance companies when processing your auto / car insurance or workers compensation claim.
The written order or prescription must give a frequency and duration, in other words, say how often massage therapy treatment should occur and how long the regimen should last. The physician should feel free to consult with us, the massage therapist, before and during treatment.
All the paperwork must be filled out prior to receiving medical massage therapy, and you must agree to allow us, the massage therapist to share information with your physician and insurance company. You also must agree to have the auto / car insurance company pay ESG Massage Therapy directly.
