Mine covers massage therapy if it is prescribed by a physician, called "medical massage." I had a prescription for 6 sessions of medical massage, but I could not get the massage place to do the paperwork quickly. It came during a big snowstorm and the person at the massage clinic who was supposed to call insurance was unable to do that for a couple of weeks, then the moment had passed, and I had chickened out , and my schedule had filled up and I couldn't do it anymore. I came so close to getting a massage.... They lost business because they dragged their feet. Oh, well. I believe my insurance only pays for 10 prescribed massages a year, whereas they will pay for 50 sessions of prescribed physical therapy. I'm curious about whether it is common for insurance to cover medical massage. (I interpret "medical massage" to mean the massage is for a physical problem, rather than to unwind and de-stress.)
