Affordable Options for Non-Covered Services
We understand it can be frustrating if your medical insurance doesn’t cover medical massage. To help, we offer 30-minute sessions for only $60, which is often close to a typical co-payment amount. Our goal is to provide effective treatment quickly, helping you feel better as soon as possible. We call this “pay-in-place pricing,” which is affordable and delivers great results.
We deeply appreciate your consideration of Hands On HealthCare Massage Therapy as a partner in your path to optimal health and well-being. Our commitment is to provide you with exceptional care, and we’re thrilled to make the benefits of massage therapy more accessible through NYSHIP insurance coverage.
