Never been to a MP

[Jasoninottawa]

HI all,
Long time lurker here. Always did the SP thing, but that is a tad costly. Was recently on bentley to get my car repaired. Took a walk while I waited and noticed there was a massage parlour right beside the auto body shop. I think it was Angels touch or something. Anyways...what got me intruiged was there sign that had "insurance reciepts" written on it.

Felt like a fool as i have never ever thought of this. My insurance covers massage. So...my question to all of you is, where is the best place for a massage that will give me a reciept that i can claim?

Please dont say Angels touch, as the chick working there, didn't well...uhm..turn my crank so to speak.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Oh one last thing. Has anyone ever gotten a reciept that included the "tip"?

Thanks in advance
J

EDIT: I did check out the MP spreadsheet (good job to whoever did it btw) but it said nothing about reciepts.

I have never been to MP`s either. I just don`t know what to do there. It seems more like a tease, then you need to go look for an SP. So I save my money, eliminate the middle-man, and go directly for an SP. But I have yet to find an SP that gives receipts.

okay Couldn't resist.

Seriously, Angels touch is not regarded very well. A quick search will tell you how lucky you were to miss that one.

I'm pretty sure Oasis on St. Laurent provides receipts

Tipping not included...

That would be one hell of an insurance plan if it did cover tips!

Having the door fee covered is too good not to take advantage of. Check out the spreadsheet in this section & the Sun for ads that mention ins.rec.

Going to an RMT is a sure bet, but you won't get anything else than a massage.

Just because a receipt is offered doesn't mean that the insurance company is going to accept it. In Ontario, RMT's are the only ones who can legally use the term "therapist". Unless the receipt is signed by an RMT, they may ask some questions, or investigate, because they only pay for therapy, not for entertainment. Insurance companies are always looking for a pretext not to pay up.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like i'm out of luck if i need an RMT that provides extras.
Sigh.

If a massage parlour gets insurance payment for not providing medical therapy, that's fraud - a more serious criminal charge for them. Plus they wouldn't do as good a job as a RMT, why don't you take advantage of your company policy and go for a legit massage and see what you're missing?

I don't think that there's anything wrong with a massage parlour issuing a receipt. In fact, it's quite legitimate. It's just proof that a service has been rendered for a given amount of money. Putting a fake name and RMT registration number on the receipt is fraud, but I haven't heard anyone doing that around here. In any case, it's not the massage parlour that would be making the claim, it's the customer, using the receipt issued by the massage parlour.
