Frequently asked questions massage coverage
Can I book a massage before confirming it with my insurer?
Yes. You can book an appointment before speaking to your insurer. However, we always recommend confirming your coverage in advance to avoid any uncertainty surrounding reimbursement.
What types of massages do insurers typically accept?
Insurers typically look for treatments that focus on clinical aspects, such as sports or therapeutic massages, rather than services intended solely for relaxation. Ascend Sports Massage treatments are results-oriented and suitable for rehabilitation and pain management.
Is massage suitable if my pain is not related to sport?
Yes. Many clients use insurance-covered massage to treat muscle pain related to work, posture or chronic conditions. You do not need to be an athlete to benefit from treatment.
When can I submit my insurance claim after treatment?
In most cases, claims can be submitted shortly after your appointment, once you have received your receipt. Processing times depend on your insurance company.
Can massage be part of a broader recovery or rehabilitation plan?
Yes. Massage is often used in conjunction with exercise, physiotherapy, or other rehabilitation methods to promote recovery, improve mobility, and reduce discomfort.
