Thank you for booking with us! If you need to cancel or move your appointment, 24 hours of advanced notice is required.

Our Direct Billing Policy:

1. Confirming Coverage

• Please confirm with your insurance provider whether direct billing is available under your policy.

• Patients are responsible for understanding their coverage details, including co-payments, deductibles, coverage limits, and whether a Medical Doctor’s note is required.

• If your insurer requires a Medical Doctor’s note, it is your responsibility to submit the document directly to your insurance plan.

• Not all policies or plans include direct billing for Massage Therapy.

2. Consent Requirements

• The consent of the primary policyholder is required for us to process direct billing on your behalf.

• If you are a dependent (child or spouse), we require the primary plan holder’s consent and your completion of the Direct Billing Authorization form to process claims.

3. Direct Billing Authorization

• The Direct Billing Authorization form must be completed and submitted before your first appointment. Failure to do so may result in your extended health insurance provider declining direct billing for your treatment.

• Please note that setting up direct billing requires time for authorization and processing.

4. Primary Insurance Only

• Our clinic bills directly to the primary insurance plan only.

• We do not coordinate benefits or submit claims to secondary plans; this must be done by the patient.

5. Claims Denial or Technical Issues

• As a courtesy, we offer direct billing to third-party insurers.

• However, if your insurer denies the claim or if technical issues arise with the insurance portal on the date of service, full payment will be required at the time of your appointment.

• You may then submit a manual claim to your insurer for reimbursement.

6.     Cancellation Policy

• Our clinic’s cancellation policy applies to all appointments, regardless of billing arrangements.

If you are parking in the Sunshine Village underground parking lot, there are wheelchair accessible parking stalls and an elevator. Inside our building, there are wheelchair accessible washrooms available.

To better serve you feel free to contact us directly and we can ensure your Massage Therapy appointment will be set up to accommodate all your needs.

Unfortunately, no. Your appointment is booked for you, so we still require a minimum of 24 hours notice to make any changes to your appointment. We need this time to update any billing information in time for the appointment.

Yes, all of our Therapists are Registered Massage Therapists (RMT's) and licensed to practice in the Province of British Columbia.

1. Health History

2. Assessment

3. Plan of Action
   Your RMT will discuss your treatment plan and preferences. You can ask questions and make changes to your treatment plan at any time and in consideration of your level of comfort.

4. Treatment
   Your RMT will explain how to prepare for the treatment and check in with you along the way.

5. Home Care Recommendations
   At the end of your session, your RMT will recommend things you can do at home to improve your overall health and wellness or provide information specific to your concerns. Your RMT can recommend therapeutic exercise, mobility & movement exercises, hydrotherapy treatments, stretches and/or refer you to another Allied Health Practitioner (if indicated).

Clients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss their appointment will be charged a cancellation fee in accordance with the clinic fee schedule.

Please call to reschedule your appointment if you're feeling unwell or experiencing symptoms that could be contagious (fever, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, coughing).

If you anticipate being late it is important that you communicate with us by calling or emailing the clinic.

At The Body Mechanics Massage Therapy Ltd., we value your time and the time of our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs). To ensure availability and fairness to all clients, we have a strict No-Show Policy in place.

A “No-Show” is when a client does not arrive for their scheduled appointment and fails to contact us in advance to cancel or reschedule.

Policy Details:

• If a client does not show up and does not contact us, the full cost of the missed appointment will be charged.

• This charge will be added to the client’s account and must be paid before booking any future appointments.

• Our standard 24-hour cancellation policy remains in effect. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are considered late and may also incur a fee (see our Late Cancellation Policy for full details).

• No-show charges are not eligible for direct billing or insurance reimbursement and must be paid by the client.

• We understand that emergencies happen and will review each situation with care. However, repeated no-shows may result in restricted booking privileges.

By booking an appointment with us, you agree to this policy.

Thank you for respecting our time and helping us provide quality care to all clients.
