Privacy and Sharing of Information:

Your medical and personal information is collected at our clinic in order to provide you with safe, effective and ethical care. All information will be kept by the Health Information Custodians at In Balance Massage Therapy or your RMT. RMTs practice in collaboration with other health care professionals, called your circle of care. RMTs allow others within your circle of care to access your health records when such access is reasonably necessary for the provision of healthcare unless you the patient/client has expressly instructed the RMT not to provide such access.

 

Cancellation Policy:                        *There is a charge for no call/no show and late cancellations with less than 24 hours notice*

Our clinic has a 24 hour cancellation policy. RMTs at this clinic only earn a living by providing treatments and your treatment time has been set aside exclusively for you. This means that you agree to give as much notice as possible when you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment for any reason. If you are experiencing symptoms of illness, please notify your RMT immediately. All RMT direct contact info can be found on our website, InBalanceMassageTherapy.com. You will personally be invoiced the full treatment fee, not your insurance company when you fail to show up or cancel with less than 24 hours notice.

 

Arriving late:

Your appointment time has been set aside exclusively for you. If you are running late your RMT will treat you for the remainder of the scheduled treatment time that you have allowed. You are responsible to pay for the original treatment time as requested for your appointment. We have structured start/stop times and it is unprofessional for us to make the next patient wait because your appointment started late.                                        

 

Payment policy/Insurance billing:

Please be advised that payment is due, in full, at time of appointment. For your convenience, payment may be made via cash, e-transfer, debit or direct billing may be possible (as a courtesy, it is not a requirement that we offer direct billing) based on your extended health insurance policy. Credit card payment is available but not preferred. If you would prefer direct billing to your insurance company please be advised:

1. Your RMT will attempt to submit a claim to any insurance company on our eligibility list. Submitting to your secondary plan is often not available on our end. Some exceptions apply.

2. It is your responsibility to know the details of your coverage (ex: do you require a Dr’s note? How much is covered per treatment and per year? When does your year start?).

3. Your RMT has no control over what coverage you have, if your claim will be successful or the amount that your personal policy will pay or partially pay for your appointment.

4. Contacting your insurance company in advance and knowing the details of your specific plan will ensure better success in submitting a claim on your behalf. Otherwise you will pay for your appointment and we will issue you a receipt to submit the claim yourself.

 

Clinic Details:

Refunds:

​We do not offer refunds. As a client you have rights. You have the right to refuse or withdraw your consent at any time, for any reason.
