Beginning
August 1,2009 we will require new insurance clients to leave a credit

charged if your insurance fails to pay, or there is a co-payment
or co-insurance due on your account after your insurance pays.
We will notify you before charging your card!

"Why
do I need a prescription when my plan says I don't need one?"
Answer: Unlike
any other type of specialist, insurance companies do not recognize
massage therapists as being able diagnose. Often the customer service
reps at your insurance company are not familiarwith this technicality,
but their billing departments are. Based on our extensive billing
experience, the Center requires prescriptions for ALL insurances
in order to guarantee your benefits will be paid as listed.
