Do you sell retail items in your practice and if so, what kind of items? Is there any product that seems to fly off the shelf?

Julie Onofrio replied to Kim Galliher's discussion Medical Massage & Insurance"I just wrote a book on it too - Insurance Billing 101 for Massage Therapists. I still recommend getting Diana Thompsons book too because it focuses more on chart notes.
You don't need to take a technique class or become a 'medical…"
Kim Galliher replied to Kim Galliher's discussion Medical Massage & Insurance"Thanks, I'll look for the book now."
Sean Vierra replied to Kim Galliher's discussion Medical Massage & Insurance"I would also note that, depending on each state and each insurance policy, "wellness visits" are sometimes covered. I'll also say that these are few and far between. One major medical provider in my area covers wellness visits-meaning…"
Sean Vierra replied to Kim Galliher's discussion Medical Massage & Insurance"Hi Kim,

Wallis replied to Kim Galliher's discussion Medical Massage & Insurance"Well usually you can bill for auto and work comp. directly to the insurance companies if you have a doctors referral... An MD. , Chiropractor or Osteopath. You would need a valid State License... Well that's the way it was when I…"

Considering going to Vegas in November to get certified for Medical massage and start networking with doctors and PTs and take insurance. Does anyone do this currently? Is it worth the time and expense? I have a lot of clients that ask about me taking insurance and I am getting some referrals from a chiropractor so I thought it was something worth looking into.See More
