Insurance Reimbursement for Reflexology

Now a Reality

We were sitting at lunch with Melinna Gianianni, the president of AlternativeLink and the topic of how reflexologists can get immediate insurance reimbursement came up. Barbara Kunz asked, if a reflexologist wanted to collect from an insurer, what would it take. This is how Melinna responded.

We are pleased to provide our subscribers with current information concerning reimbursement based on ABC codes for reflexology services. We suggest you do the following:

1. Become Familiar with Codes for Reflexology, Insurance Billing and Claims Submission
Review a copy of the "ABC Coding Manual for Integrative Healthcare"*

Use the manual and the Alternative Link site to become familiar with these insurance codes. They are the key to starting the insurance reimbursement engine.

2. Interface with Managed Healthcare Organizations
The first national network to use ABC codes and offer reflexology is Integrative Medicine Networks (IMN) . They are a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO).

PPOs, like IMN , contract with practitioners for their services. Then the PPO licenses the list of contracted practitioners to many types of healthcare organizations at pre-negotiated fees. There will be other PPO's, but IMN is the first.

3. Start to Collect Insurance Reimbursement
Let the IMN PPO market your services to a large group insurance plan located in every state.

Gain referrals from this large company's employees who already have access to IMN's PPO.

Receive referrals from IMN to treat consumers who make their own healthcare buying decisions.
