    Group Health Plans (Employee Benefits)

    Most employer-sponsored plans include massage therapy under paramedical coverage.

Coverage is per year and applies to each paramedical category separately.

    Individual Health Insurance Plans

    Personal plans also cover massage therapy but often have per-visit maximums (around $20 per visit) and limits on the number of visits annually. A doctor’s referral is usually required, except for some plans like Manulife’s Flexcare and FollowMe, which waive this after three years of coverage.
