Will Insurance Pay for a Medical Massage in Tulsa?

Many guests call us wondering if health insurance will cover a medical massage. The short answer: sometimes. A few rules apply first.

What Counts as “Medical” Massage?

A medical massage targets a diagnosed issue such as chronic back pain, post-injury tightness, or limited range of motion. Our therapists follow the care notes written by your physician or chiropractor.
Bring a Letter of Medical Necessity, and we’ll use it as a road map for your session.

How Most Insurance Plans Handle Massage Therapy

Here are some of the most important details you should know about the standard approach to insurance and massage therapy.
● Prescription required. Many PPO and HMO plans reimburse only if a licensed provider prescribes massage.
● Out-of-network reimbursement. Spa Lux does not bill insurers directly. Instead, we give you an itemized receipt (often called a superbill) that lists dates, therapist license number, and CPT codes.
● Deductibles and visit caps. Even when massage is covered, it may count toward your deductible or be limited to a certain number of visits.

Tips for Getting Paid Back

Want to increase your chances of getting reimbursed for massage? Here are our top tips.
1. Call your insurer first. Ask if CPT code 97124 is reimbursable and what paperwork they want.
2. Bring the prescription. A clear note such as “medical massage once per week for eight weeks” helps curb claim denials.
3. Use HSA or FSA funds. Most flex and health-savings accounts pay for medical massage when you have that prescription.
4. Submit right away. Many plans give you only 90 days to file.

Why Pick Spa Lux for Your Reimbursable Session?

● Skilled therapists. Our licensed team blends deep-tissue, trigger-point, and stretching techniques to hit clinical goals.
● Extra perks. Steam rooms and saunas come free with qualifying services, letting muscles stay loose long after the table time.
● Paperwork made easy. Your superbill is printed or emailed before you leave so you can send it off the same day.
