Let’s clear something up (all tea no shade):
Taking insurance for medical massage does not mae me “less than,” “controlled by the system,” or “at the mercy of insurance.”
It makes me a Licensed Provider who understands how to navigate it, and how to advocate for my patients.
I worked in healthcare for eleven years.
I’ve done scribing, billing, insurance appeals, authorizations, denials, a lot of the headache that might make some run for the hills. But I did it for the benefit of my patients.
And while it can be stressful, it’s also incredibly rewarding because it allows people to receive consistent care, often 1-2x a month a year, without the financial strain.
Consistent care=better outcomes.
Better outcomes=less pain, more mobility, more function, more peace.
It is important to emphasize that I approach all clients with equal clinical intention.
Whether a session is insurance based or cash based, I research conditions, tailor treatment plans, and prioritize long-tears outcomes. My commitment to patient centered care does not change based on payment method.
This isn’t about comparing the two, it’s about educating others on why taking insurance can be beneficial and why it’s a valid, effective avenue of care.
I’m not here to shame anyone who chooses not to take insurance.
But I also won’t apologize for the fact that I do.
Anyone who puts you down because you strive for financial stability and success are not your people.
I’ve witnessed patients find relief, regain mobility, decrease stress, and finally feel supported after years of discomfort.
If there’s a system available that can help someone feel better, and I have the skillset to navigate it?
You better believe Im going to use it.
