Auto Insurance + Massage

If you were involved in a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) in the State of Oregon, your medical expenses are covered up to at least $15,000 or more. PIP (Personal Injury Protection) insurance is part of every insurance policy written in the State of Oregon. It applies whether you, or another driver were at fault, or if you were a pedestrian or on your bike. This benefit is inclusive of massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture, as well as medical care, prescriptions, and lost wages related to your injury.

It is your legal right to choose the practitioner you want to work with.

When you come to your first appointment, please bring:

• Prescription/Referral with diagnostic code(s) from Attending Physician (DC, DO, ND, MD, etc)
• Insurance company information
• Adjuster’s name and phone number
• Incident claim number
• Date of accident

You may schedule an appointment with any of our Massage Therapists online or by calling (541) 770-1606.

Health Insurance + Massage

Many health insurance policies will cover the cost of massage therapy. Health insurance plans vary in their cost coverage of massage therapy and the conditions under which the massage therapy services are received. Certain health insurance plans require a doctor’s referral in order to cover the cost of massage therapy while other health plans allow a certain number of visits without a referral. Some health insurance plans cover massage therapy costs in full, while other health plans require a client co-payment.

It is best to check with your health insurance provider for the exact details of your insurance policy. Our providers are qualified to bill for 97124 (therapeutic procedure) or 97140 (manual therapy techniques).
