BC’s Medical Services Plan has a program that will reimburse eligible patients for $23.00 of your massage therapy treatment. Generally, patients are eligible through MSP if they are recognized as being on Premium Assistance (low income). This is easily checked by a therapist if you provide us with your Personal Health Number (found on your BC Care Card) and your date of birth. Patients are eligible for up to 10 treatments per year combined of chiropractic, physiotherapy, podiatry, and massage therapy. We are unable to collect from MSP on your behalf, so patients pay the full treatment cost, we will fill out the paperwork and send it away, and MSP will send a cheque in 4-6 weeks.

It is important to note that Worksafe BC may not allow multiple therapies at one time for a patient (ie: physiotherapy and massage therapy).
