Insurance benefits for osteopathic care typically fall into two main categories: Paramedical Services and Medical Devices (Healthcare Products).
1. Paramedical Services
These include hands-on osteopathic treatments, similar to other regulated healthcare services:
✔️ Registered Massage Therapy (RMT)
✔️ Acupuncture Treatment
✔️ Physical Therapy
✔️ Chiropractic Care
✔️ Naturopathic Therapy
✔️ Osteopathic Treatment
Reimbursement Limits
- Each type of treatment may be reimbursed up to $350–$500 per person per year.
- Some insurance plans offer combined coverage of up to $1,000 per person per year for multiple treatments.
- Important: Not all insurance providers recognize certain professional associations for reimbursement. Check the Insurance Company Approval List for details.
2. Medical Devices & Healthcare Products
In addition to treatments, all insurance companies provide reimbursement for healthcare products, which can total several thousand dollars per person per year. Like physiotherapists and chiropractors, osteopathic practitioners can authorize and process reimbursements for eligible medical devices and healthcare products.
