It never ceases to amaze me how so many do not get it right and wonder why they are paid so little or not at all. There are guidelines but many do not want to go to the well where the water is, if you know what I mean, they try to piece meal it all with bits and pieces of information they get from others who also do not know the ins and outs of insurance billing.

I have to say, I am getting a bit weary of trying to straighten out the problems everyone has who end up telling me they did it this or that way because so and so told them or that this is the way they “heard it should be done.”

I so wish I could stand on a mountain top and tell the massage world that “This is the way to do it correctly, be paid and put the money in the bank.” But doing it one therapist at a time has been difficult to say the least.

When it is done correctly the payment is worth it in most cases, I too had to learn the hard way, but because no one was available to train me back them.

I also find that massage therapists will be willing to lose hour after hour and dollar after dollar to try it and end up doing it incorrectly rather than invest a bit of time and a minimal amount of money to learn the professional aspects of billing and being paid by insurance companies, as they were willing to do to become a massage therapist in the first place.

I do wish all who accept insurance the very best because the success of each builds the success of our profession in the health care arena.

Many do not realize that with a purchase of any of my seminars, home study courses, manuals and/or DVD’s that they get a year of FREE consultation whereby I am there for them by email or phone to help them on current situations as they arise.

I have been instructing therapists in this field of insurance since 1990 and hope to continue as long as I possibly can because of the ever growing need for therapists to get it right!

Thanks so much Ann!!!!!
