Why We Care So Much

Instead of worrying about the specific modalities, which are nothing more that someone’s proprietary description of some combination of permitted treatment techniques, we defined coverage broadly based on the nature of the treatment.

You don’t have to look for a name for a technique to know you are covered. For example, Yoga involves a practitioner guiding people through movements and hold positions. So does Pilates. Our policy doesn’t say Yoga or Pilates, it just says Movement Therapy, defined as guiding Clients through a system of movements and hold positions.

That way, everything is covered without having to identify the label someone has put on it.

I appreciate all the helpful notifications I get.

Carolyn B

This was most convenient way to respond that my experience was excellent especially with the COVID pandemic, being furloughed, policy lapsing and reinstating it. There were many options for reinstatement which needed some further explanation, but all representatives were knowledgable and helpful in getting to what I needed.
