Fee schedule and invoicing guidelines
Our massage therapy fee schedule sets out the rates we pay for your services.
When invoicing us, please follow these guidelines:
- Treatment services will be paid on accepted claims only. If treatment is provided on a pending claim, you can bill the injured worker and then if the claim is accepted, reimburse the worker and bill us directly.
- Treatment beyond eight weeks from the date of injury must be approved before invoicing for services.
- Treatment will only be paid on injury areas that are accepted on the claim.
- The worker is responsible for paying for treatment on non-claim related areas. We recommend scheduling treatment to non-claim areas separately.
- Additional fees cannot be charged to an injured worker (e.g., rehabilitation equipment, user or administration fees).
- We do not pay for missed, late, or cancelled appointments.
