Using Insurance
At Body Systems we provide Fascial Counterstrain Therapy. We are a cash-pay practice and do not take insurance, but we are able to provide you with a superbill upon request. This is the form that you can submit to your insurance company to request reimbursement
You do not need a doctor’s referral to see a therapist in the State of Alaska. Some insurance companies require a referral and other documentation for reimbursement, some do not. Massage Therapy and Physical Therapy are different licenses and may have different requirements depending on the insurance plan. It is up to the patient to discover what their individual plan requires for insurance billing.

If your insurance requires a prescription from a Doctor to qualify for billing, please make sure the following information is included:
- Massage Therapy and Physical Therapy
- Your diagnosis

Fascial Counterstrain Therapy is treatment that is different to traditional physical therapy and massage therapy. Those who practice Fascial Counterstrain therapy, whether they are licensed massage therapists or physical therapists, follow the same treatment procedures.
Medicare Patients
Medicare has peculiar rules regarding cash pay for Physical and Occupation Therapies. There are several grey areas, but in general, David cannot accept cash payments from patients that are enrolled in Medicare and we cannot bill Medicare either.
Raoul has no such limitation being a Massage Therapist. Medicare patients that realize the benefits of Fascial Counterstrain have an excellent therapist that can treat them now.
