Referrals, Prescriptions & Provider Communication

 

Medical Massage requires a current referral or prescription, or both from a qualified healthcare provider. While we can accept referrals from a provider’s office, additional information may be required when insurance is being billed or prior authorization is necessary.

​

A referral or prescription should clearly communicate the medical reason for treatment and may need to include:

​

• Patient diagnosis and applicable ICD-10 code(s)

• Medical necessity for massage/manual therapy

• Areas or conditions being treated

• Recommended treatment frequency and duration

• Number of visits or treatments requested

• Prescription/referral start and end dates, when applicable

• Prescribing provider’s information and signature

 

Physician Prescription Form

 

To simplify this process, Idaho Medical Massage provides a Physician Prescription Form designed to collect the information commonly needed for treatment planning, insurance documentation, and prior authorization requests.

​

Using our form helps ensure we receive complete information from your healthcare provider and can reduce the need for additional communication between offices. Insurance companies may still request medical records, treatment plans, clinical findings, or other documentation to establish medical necessity.

​

If additional information is needed, we may contact your prescribing provider. Patients are encouraged to remain involved in this process by following up with their provider and helping ensure requested documentation is returned promptly. Communication between healthcare offices and insurance companies can take time, and active patient follow-up may help prevent unnecessary delays in beginning or continuing treatment.

​Upon request I can provide: 

​

• Progress updates

• Treatment summaries 

• Recommendations for continued care

 

Please include this information in your referral or use our prescription referral form. 

​

• Patient diagnosis and applicable ICD-10 code(s)

• Medical necessity for massage/manual therapy
