If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you may be wondering if you can use those pre-tax dollars to cover the cost of massage therapy. The good news is that, under the right circumstances, massage therapy at Superior Spine Care is usually eligible for FSA reimbursement—especially when it is prescribed as a treatment for a specific medical condition. The vast majority of our patients have little difficulty getting their treatments covered through our office, but there are a few things to keep in mind.
When Is Massage Therapy Covered by FSA?
FSAs are designed to cover medical expenses that are deemed necessary for your health. Massage therapy is typically covered when it is prescribed by a healthcare provider to treat a diagnosed medical condition, such as:
- Chronic pain conditions (e.g., arthritis, fibromyalgia, or lower back pain)
- Muscle tension or injuries (e.g., strains, sprains, or post-surgical recovery)
- Circulatory or neurological disorders (e.g., sciatica, neuropathy, or carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Stress-related conditions (e.g., anxiety, migraines, or high blood pressure)
At Superior Spine Care, we specialize in therapeutic massage to help relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being. If your doctor recommends massage therapy as part of your treatment plan, you should be able to use your FSA funds to pay for your sessions.
How to Use Your FSA for Massage Therapy
To ensure that your FSA covers massage therapy, follow these steps:
- Schedule Your Massage at Superior Spine Care – We offer therapeutic massage services that usually qualify for FSA reimbursement when used for medical purposes.
- Keep Your Receipts and Documentation – FSA administrators may require proof of your payment receipts to process your reimbursement.
- Prescription or Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) – If required by your plan, we can write a letter stating that massage therapy is medically necessary for treating your condition, or provide you with other necessary documentation.
