Do you have a #HSA (Health Savings Account) or #FSA (Flexible Spending Account) through your employer or insurance?
While we do not accept insurance as a payment method at MaMassage Brooklyn, you may be able to submit your receipts for massage therapy appointments (which include an #NPI number) for reimbursement to HSA/FSA accounts.
Do you have funds in these accounts that need to be utilized before the end of the year? Check in with HR, your employer, or your insurance to see if massage therapy is applicable for spending. You can book your appointment under the "Medical Massage" service if that is helpful for the documentation you need. We can also provide IDC codes if necessary for some insurance plans.
It's November now and we are getting booked, so set up your remaining appointments for the year based on your HSA/FSA budgets. Even if you don't have these types of accounts, we hope to see you before the end of the year for a massage!
