1. DEFINITELY,,,PROVIDED THE THERAPIST IS ALSO A LICENSED MD.2. They dont like covering anything that helps , sometimes if you get a Dr. to give you a Rx they will approve it but it has to be detailed by saying 2 massages a week for four weeks somewhere along those lines ,l have alot of fibro clients and i wished insurance covered more, mostly massage therapist cant offer the companys any type of kickbacks like drs and hospitials do so regaurdless of how much better it can be , insurance isnt very interested in massage
3. Depends on your insurance and the state you live in. In WA state, all insurance massage requires a doctors referral. Massage is also required to be covered (as well as acupuncture and naturopathy) by insurance...but that's a WA state law. Your locale may be different.
Call your insurance company and find out.
4. You will need to contact your insurance company to see if massage therapy is covered under your specific plan.
