depends on the insurance. my therapist massaged me for about 15 minutes along with the theraphy, and it was covered. it depends on how they bill the insurance. question for you wouldnt it be nice if the insurance covered massage and the gym. they say exercise and relaxation helps with a lot of illnesses. so why not pay for that and lower the rate of mental and physical illnesses. .?.?.?Health Question & Answer
