Health Coverage for Massage Therapy

Extended Health Plans
These plans are offered by employers which provide benefits for most of our services. Plans vary either by percentage covered or annual total limits. Contact your benefits provider for a full listing of covered products and services.

BC’s Medical Services Plan

BC’s Medical Services Plan may offer some subsidy for treatments rendered by our Centre, if you are an individual on premium assistance. To determine if any subsidy is available, please contact 604.669.6667 or look Under “What coverage is available when I go to the physical therapist, massage therapist, chiropractor, naturopath or podiatrist?”, on their website here

No Physician Referral Is Necessary
Referrals are no longer required to see a Registered Massage Therapist. However, some Extended Health Plans may require a Referral from the doctor prior to massage treatment for the expense to be eligible for reimbursement. We do recommend that you research your Extended Health Care coverage to determine what, if any, guidelines are in place for your treatment expenses to be eligible.

“If you have an Extended Health Care plan through work,
you may be covered for up to 100% reimbursement of your
treatment cost”.  Ask us how!
