Lets find out what is new for me...

I received the below information from my association – NHPC regarding claiming REIKI through your insurance provider.

In the email below it provides a link for a letter to be sent by you to your insurance provider requesting coverage for Reiki.  There is also letters for other holistic modalities (listed below) you can send to your insurance provider.  Go here for the letters:  treatment letters

Besides Reiki, NHPC has other modalities that might be covered by your insurance provider through these same ” health accounts” within your insurance policy.

• Acupressure
• Aromatherapy
• BodyTalk®
• Bowen
• Craniosacral Therapy
• Energy Work
• Reflexology
• Rolfing Structural Integration®
• Shiatsu
• Thai Massage
• Touch For Health®

************************************

Dear NHPC Reiki member,

The NHPC are advising that the following list of private insurance companies that offer extended health benefit plans/accounts in Canada have Reiki coverage:

Reiki Coverage with Insurance Company Benefit Plans/Accounts*

*This list is subject to change at any time, as per insurance company policies.

NHPC Reiki clients who have coverage for Reiki services in their plans/accounts with the above insurance companies may have their claims reimbursed. We recommend that clients confirm their coverage with their plan/account administrator before submitting claims for Reiki services.

If your Reiki clients do not have coverage for Reiki services, they can review the NHPC Treatment Coverage page on how to request adding this service to their health benefit coverage.

Please note that the NHPC contacted all insurance companies who are Canadian Life & Health Insurance Association (CLHIA) members regarding their Reiki coverage. However, it is possible there are some insurers who are not listed in this communication or that the NHPC are not aware of them at this time.

This is the massage gel I use for all treatments.  If you are allergic to any of the ingredients, please let me know prior to your appointment.

These are the procedures I will be doing for each in-person treatment.  I take everyone’s safety seriously.  I know it may seem like I am being a bit anal, but this is particularly important to me to ensure that we are both safe.

CLEANING done after a treatment.

Prior to the first appointment of the day, I will 

• I will do a thorough cleaning if I have had guests before or after scheduled work hours for the current day
• I will disinfect with Rubbing Alcohol 70% or higher because it kills all viruses within 10 seconds.  I spray all surfaces from my office door (both sides) and within the treatment room.  I spray everything but the walls.
• I will hot steam mop the floors
• I ensure all dishes are clean and put away
• Counters are cleared of clutter
• I will put on my face mask, if required by AHS or if there is an outbreak of FLU.

After you have left after your treatment I will:

• Thoroughly wash and disinfect my hands before and after every treatment.
• I spray the massage table blankets, pillows, the front couch, the angel coins with case, foot pouf in front of couch and both sides of the door  with Rubbing Alcohol 70% or higher
• I spray the massage stools, massage bolsters, massage table vinyl, vinyl chair at the front of the office, and teak stool at the front of the office with Myo-Ther GENIE PLUS Table Cleaner
• I will dispose of my face mask.  This will be guided by AHS rules, or I will do it on my own during any FLU outbreaks.
• I will take the two flat sheets on the massage table, the pillowcase(s) and put them in the laundry hamper to be laundered.  I use laundry strength Hydrogen Peroxide/Bleach, organic laundry soap, washing soda and hot water to wash all the linen.  All linen is dried in the highest heat setting until fully dried.
• On the massage table I have a quilt for padding, waterproof sheet protection then a fitted sheet and a full table length heating pad. I wash these once a week
• For every treatment, the massage table will have two flat sheets on top the above point
• All the pillows used for your treatment all have a waterproof protection pillowcase and with a standard pillowcase on top
• I fill out the AHS cleaning form located on the cabinet by my office door.  This is uploaded to my profile in JaneApp and will be provided to AHS if ever required.
