Aetna Massage Therapist

Julie Onofrio is a Aetna Massage Therapist and is accepting new patients.

As with all massage and insurance companies, massage must be medially necessary for the rehabilitation of a condition or disease as per your policy.

Aetna's policy as found on their website states:

"Massage therapy is considered medically necessary as adjunctive treatment to another therapeutic procedure on the same day, which is designed to restore muscle function, reduce edema, improve joint motion, or for relief of muscle spasm. Massage therapy is not considered medically necessary for prolonged periods and should be limited to the initial or acute phase of an injury or illness (i.e., an initial 2-week period). The medical necessity of massage therapy and myofascial release performed on the same day must be documented."

This means that you must have an injury or other limiting condition that is in the acute phase (has just happened recently) and is not an ongoing problem which will make it a chronic condition.

Massage must be prescribed by your physician.
