Injury claim?

[Johnnyfly]

I'm probably going to get flamed for asking this question, but does anybody have any experience with getting an injury insurance claim to pay for a massage from an asp? I know that generally if you have a receipt from a normal massage parlor they consider that when settling your claim, but what about here?

[The Oxymoron]

I'm thinking the provider would need to be a Registered Massage Therapist. If there are any RMT/escort providers out there, I'd think they'd be unwilling to lose their license over it.

You never know though, but I wouldn't want to get involved in that mess.

I think this has been asked before but I can't remember the answers. I could be wrong but it would make sense to me that if this were to work you need a legit provider ( like has own tax ID legit).

You deserve to get flamed. It's bogus claims and people abusing the system that contribute to high rates for the rest of us.

If you really have an injury, you would be looking for real therapy.

If not, pay for it your fucking self.

Every time someone submits an insurance claim, it contributes to higher rates for everyone else. YOU are trying to get help filing a BOGUS claim, which is illegal.

I recently starting having lower back pain that was bad enough I had difficulty standing up after sitting for a few minutes. My insurance is paying for physical therapy for the back pain (the main treatment is to learn an exercise program and follow it faithfully).

I would not scheme to have my insurance pay for the "other" kind of physical therapy that we talk about here. I only want my health insurance to cover real health problems.

Did you really just say this in serious thought?

Most pay these things because we have to or are responsible enough to be honest.

You are just looking to scam.

Maybe we should do a public service and report this to the Insurance commish, or wherever one would report fraud.

You guys are funny! While I don't disagree that it's fraudulent isn't it just the tiniest bit hypocritical?

Luce is right. It is kind of funny that the responses are all concerned about the LEGALITY of the situation. I would not call it hypocrisy as much as a willingness to draw distinct boundaries as to what is acceptable and what is not. Others view the hobby as depraved, dishonorable, and of course illegal. And no doubt many of us would disagree with the first two assessments. But try to defraud insurance? That won't fly. I happen to agree that defrauding insurance is far worse than hobbying. There is honor among "criminals" -- at least to some degree.

When you pay from your own pocket, you may be taking from your family.

When you file a fraudulent insurance claim, you steal from the general public.

That's the difference.

On a side note, I was hired a few years ago by a receptionist who worked at a chiropractor's office. She told me they settle claims all the time. The claims arising from the chiropractor injuring his own clients.
