I'm now thinking the only way I will be seeing a ma anytime soon is if they can give ins receipt for either qc or on. So they would have to be registered. Last year I feel I spent way too much on ma's. And nearly $4000 on rmt's. Which is claimable. If anyone knows our can recommend one drop me a pm. Thanks.
In search of...ma that is a rmt.

Insurance subsidised chicken choking? Your the first one to think about this novel idea!
Forget about it man... RMT ladies that provide receipt are licensed professionals. Ive heard and seen a few cases in over a decade of playing this game when they will issue receipt and drain your one eyed snake. It has never ended well for the lady (license issue...)
Does it absolutely need to be RMT? Does your insurance company cover alternative therapies? I'm thinking things like maybe accupuncture or aromatherapy and the like. That might widen your field of search.
It’s not worth the increased scrutiny on the provider or your job if they find out you’re defrauding the benefits.
Play time is something always best kept separate from work.

They exist, but are mostly found as rmt first with just a release, best to use Kijiji.
This topic as been discussed many times before - ButtMonkey, Nesbot and Oldnerd have it right. There are great ladies that provide a near RMT quality massage (Eg. Allison) but don't try to game the insurance system by submitting a receipt for reimbursement. Just not worth it.
Agree with the above. Not worth the risk to you or the provider. The police turn a blind eye to a lot of things in this business but insurance companies have money on the table and have controls in place to ensure they aren't fleeced. You are playing with fire going down that route.
Since I am an Rmt I can answer that question and clarify why it’s a very bad idea with explications.
Insurances works with numbers so the first thing they look for is the licence number of the Rmt on the receipt. Then , the number will match a business address. If the address is not associated with a company (spa name) they might flag it as suspicious. They could or could not dig a little.
The difference between a legit spa and a ma that’s also rmt :
Legit:
-You fill up a form with health details , your personal infos as well as a waver to protect the Rmt. You might also have a copy of your prescriptions for massage and a list of medication you are taking for pain.
Ma’s: She got absolutely no private informations about your health.
Now imagine the insurance company contacting your Ma for formal questions about your health or to get a copy of your file... lf she doesn’t have that file , she could loose her licence because it could be potentially dangerous to treat a condition with absolutely no information whatsoever about your client’s heath. Now do they really contact your provider ? Oh yes they do. They make sure you are not getting a massage for relaxation but due to pain or therapy needed. Some insurance company goes far to avoid paying their clients.
The Sunlife is one of the worse in term of massage therapy claims and it’s the gouv insurance company so most of my clients are with them.
The repercussions are :
-She looses her licence , you both get caught for fraud , you might loose your job.
It just doesn’t worth it.
We are not saying no receipt to avoid paperwork , we are protecting our license and your privacy as well.
I would suggest that if you spend so much in massage and likes rmt , get a membership with one in order to save money on every session and keep your job
