Tell Your Clients
Why They Need You
BEST ADVICE
Body Sense magazine is a simple, beautiful client education tool that
helps keep the line of communication open even after clients leave your
table. The benefits of frequent sessions, the knowledge that pain shouldn't
be the only motivator for them to make an
appointment, and the true value of your work are
just some of the topics we cover in this award-
winning quarterly digital magazine you can email
to your clients and prospective clients.
It's easy to use:
1. Go to www.abmp.com/bodysense.
2. Click "Send Body Sense magazine
to your clients now."
Have you considered
taking insurance billing clients?
Before deciding whether this is the right move
for your practice, consider these questions:
1. How often do my clients ask if I can bill
their insurance?
2. How many of my clients have health
insurance that covers massage therapy or
other manual therapy?
3. Will my practice grow significantly if I offer
insurance billing?
4. What changes would I need to make
to my practice? Am I prepared to
accommodate the amount of
additional documentation,
follow-up, and paperwork
required?
Still not sure whether this is
the right move for you? Find
more considerations about
insurance billing—as well as
FAQs on the topic—in Irene
Diamond's article on insurance
billing in this issue of
Massage & Bodywork.
