Auto Insurance

If you have been in an automobile/car accident, or motorcycle accident, then most likely you have some soft-tissue damage that occurred. Soft-tissue damage can happen with collisions that occur at speeds as slow as 10 MPH (miles per hour). If the damaged areas do not get the treatment needed, they can become chronic and bothersome for years to come.  In my experience, getting massage therapy right away can often prevent small amounts of tissue damage from flaring up into really big long-term problems.  So don't delay on getting therapy, as it can mean the difference between a short term nuisance and a pain that lasts for years.

Most automobile and motorcycle insurance cover massage under the PIP (Personal Injury Protection) part of the policy. If you were hit by someone else, and you don't have PIP coverage on your policy, then getting coverage involves more paperwork (but is still possible).  Currently I do not accept third-party claims.

If auto insurance will be covering the payment of your session(s):

  • Before your first appointment, please call and provide me with the following information so I can verify your coverage:
    • Insurance adjuster's name and phone number
    • Insurance company name
    • Claim number
    • Other claim benefit information
  • Bring the following with you to your first appointment:
    • Prescription from your PCP (Primary Care Provider)
    • Identification (driver's license/state ID)

I know that getting your insurance to cover the therapy you need can seem to be a daunting task... If you need help verifying your coverage, I will be happy to assist you.
