Additional FAQ
My Primary Doctor says they cannot issue a referral...
They are partially correct. They cannot directly issue a referral to a massage therapist. They CAN, however, submit the referral for pre-authorization and approval through the Community Care Network/TriWest.
Does this cost me anything?
Once pre-authorized and approved by the VA, massage sessions are covered. The Veteran pays nothing out-of-pocket, and the Therapist bills the Community Care Network for services rendered.
Can I schedule before authorization is complete?
No. Massage therapy provided through the VA Community Care Network/TriWest must be pre-authorized. Services cannot be billed retroactively.
What if my authorization expires?
You must request renewal through your Primary Care Provider.
How many sessions are typically approved?
Authorization varies by clinical need and VA approval.
