Pricing & Insurance
What a session costs, when you pay, and how insurance and injury claims work here.
Do you take insurance?
It depends on what brings you in.
Hurt in a car accident, at work, or covered by the VA? We bill auto insurance (PIP), Washington L&I, and VA Community Care directly. You pay nothing at your visit.
Regular health insurance? We’re out of network, so you pay at your visit and we give you a Superbill, the itemized receipt your plan needs to pay you back. Regence BlueShield (employer PPO plans), Premera, Aetna, Kaiser (PPO-line plans) and First Choice (and any plan on the First Choice network) plans often reimburse massage this way. Not sure about yours? Here’s how to check.
FSA or HSA? Both cards are accepted at the visit.

Give a massage, or use a Maxwell Massage gift card to pay for your visit.

Buy a gift cardTime-of-service pricing
Paying by cash or card at the end of your appointment settles the visit on the spot. Nothing is submitted, nothing is outstanding, and the amount reflects that.
Paying later means the visit stays open until a claim or insurer has been processed, which takes administrative work and time to resolve. FSA and HSA funds count as payment at the time of service.
You can still claim if you pay at the time of service. Ask for a superbill and it will show what you actually paid, which is the figure you submit to your insurer.

Frequently asked questions
Can I pay with a Maxwell Massage gift card?
Yes. Maxwell Massage gift cards can be redeemed for all services and products we offer. Each card has a unique redemption code. You can purchase a gift card through Jane; a Maxwell Massage account is required to purchase a card and track its balance.
What is the difference between the two amounts?
Timing. The lower amount settles the visit at the time of service. The higher amount applies when payment comes later through a claim, which takes administrative work and time to resolve.
If I pay the time-of-service rate, what does my Superbill say?
The amount you actually paid. If you settle at the time of service and later submit for out-of-network reimbursement, the Superbill states that figure, so what you claim matches what you paid.
Do you bill my insurance directly?
For work injuries through L&I, car accident claims through PIP, and VA Community Care, yes. We bill those directly and you pay nothing at the visit. For commercial health plans we are out of network, so you pay at the appointment and we give you a Superbill to claim reimbursement yourself.
What is a Superbill?
An itemized receipt prepared for insurance. An ordinary receipt shows that you paid. A Superbill also shows what was treated, by whom, on what date, and with the procedure and diagnosis codes an insurer needs to process a claim. You submit it to your plan yourself and any reimbursement comes back to you.
Will I definitely be reimbursed?
No. It depends on whether your plan has out-of-network massage benefits, whether you have met your out-of-network deductible, and what percentage your plan pays. We can give you the Superbill, but we cannot promise what your insurer will do with it. Call them before your first visit so you know what to expect.
Do I need a referral or a prescription?
For VA Community Care, yes: the VA issues the referral and we work from it. For L&I and PIP a physician referral is often required, and we can tell you what your claim needs. For commercial plans it varies, and it is worth asking, because a claim can be denied on that point alone even when the benefit exists.
What if I was hurt at work?
Washington workers' compensation covers massage therapy when it is part of your treatment plan. Our therapists are L&I providers, so we bill your claim directly and you pay nothing at the visit. Bring your claim number, and your referral if you have one.
What if I was in a car accident?
Personal injury protection covers massage in Washington, and it pays regardless of who caused the accident. We bill your PIP claim directly, so there is nothing to pay at the visit and no paperwork for you while you are recovering.
Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?
Yes. Massage with us is an eligible FSA and HSA expense and those cards work at the time of the visit. Some plan administrators ask for a letter of medical necessity, so it is worth checking with yours.
What is your cancellation policy?
We ask for at least 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Inside that window, or a no-show, is charged $50. Full terms are on our terms and conditions page.
Is a card on file required?
Yes, and you add it yourself in Jane when you register. It is held for the missed-appointment policy rather than to charge you for covered services, and it applies even when your care is paid for by the VA, workers' compensation or insurance.
