Worker's Compensation

Worker's Compensation is a program of benefits for workers who get an occupational injury.

It is operated by the state in which you live.

To become a health care provider for this program, contact the board in the state where you live. The board will have to approve you before you can give massage therapy to employees with occupational injuries who are making a claim.

Once approved, the state board will give you a health care provider number. You will need to include it on all claims filed for reimbursement.

Before treatment, you, the massage therapist, will also need a physician's referral for each client, giving you the number of treatments and the specific types of treatment the physician feels will benefit the client. Follow this to the letter and the state will reimburse you. If you deviate, you will not get paid for all of your services to clients with an occupational injury.

The state will pay you in full up to the reasonable and customary amount they have determined. The client is not responsible for paying any type of deductible, coinsurance, or copayment.
