Need help with a new legit RMT

[Qster]

Hi, fellow massage addicts, looking for recommendations again. Asking because I have experienced way too many disappointments lately.

My long long term sports massage RMT in the University area retired two years ago (repeated mat leaves). Thanks to one of your DMs, I did find another good one but summer holidays/boyfriend change/her own sports schedule is playing havoc with her work schedule. Certain aspect of my life changed too so I can no longer do weekend appointments. Right now, she is extremely difficult to book. I am wondering if there are any centrally located legit masseuse, must be a lady, must be a capable masseuse when it comes to sports wears&tears, must be able to take weekday evening appointments (after 6pm). While I prefer non-home based spa, prefer an Asian masseuse, nice to have but not requirements.

Because of how my company's health spending account works, preferably a shop that is 100% legit; I am overly sensitive after HR sent asked me to approve another employee's expense, they do search the internet to verify, lol.

Thanks, DM if appropriate.

Does your company’s benefits provider not give a search function? Anyone you find that way will be automatically approved.

Nope, we can spend money on anything "health" related including gym memberships, exercise equipment etc.; this is on top and above our insurance coverage. I use up my normal massage insurance coverage annually within a month, lol. I am less worry about approval than in-office gossips. I don't want to submit a receipt for a spa like Rosewater/GE/Citrus as I know my HR folks will google up my expenses.

M biggest complaint is that this forum is open and only need a user account to post responses. Search engines will scan the internet and database the txt for their search engines. Sites like CAF have a user account to log in order to view the pages. Too bad CAF is ruined for open discussion and the pages are flooded with ads

The Health Spending Account online claim filing usually has a list of services, and then when you choose massotherapy, you can enter first name, last name of therapist and phone number, address (optional), and if it’s on the “ok” list, that pops up and you just click on it. It’s very extensive for most of the larger insurance companies. If it’s not on the list, you can CREATE a new provider which they will check out before it becomes part of their data base. The insurance companies do their own check on the RMT# etc with associations. Any black listings are shared with other insurance companies.

Depends on the HSA, most companies in our area are simply part of the expense report process, attach a receipt and you get paid with your next reimbursement, no insurance company.

I came across someone that you may be interested in:

Search FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE; PROFESSIONAL MASSAGE.
persons name is: LI PANG

She charges $60 for one hour (yes, I did see her).

She operates out of her house on the northside (near 137 ave/127 st).....chinese lady with "ok" English....mid to late 30's/early 40's.

She is 100% legit...when I saw her, it was really hot, so I asked for undraped (which she did agree to).

Being undraped, I had to keep my underwear on, and there was nothing extra offered or mentioned.

During the massage she does wear a full uniform with a mask...and can deliver light or hard massage (depending on what you are looking for).

She previously worked in a clinic near WEM and then has been on her own for about 10 years.

Worth checking her out....

The receipt can say something more discreet.

Receipts are tracked by the name of the therapist but the place of business (address and phone number) is also part of the claim. In the past most black listing was done because of fraud, where the therapist was issuing receipts at one or many locations for massages performed by other staff. Effectively selling their receipts for a fee.

More recently the insurance companies are also seeking to delist therapists and businesses that contravene the professional code of ethics. RMTs that follow the rules are pissed off.. mostly with the Asian invasion and the disrespect

That could potentially explain these new members coming here that none of us have heard of before, and trashing the not so legit. Or, maybe asking a lit of questions and gathering as much information from those that can't help themselves and turn this into penthouse forum. Getting too much information could be bad . Here is an example; you have been outed either by another member or a provider , I recall this happening maybe 2 years ago when a provider called one of you by your real first name. Now look at the provider and the establishment.
Your privacy is violated, so fill in the blanks . That's why I stopped going into details a while back . I am selective who I will talk to in pm. You never know who you are flapping your trap with. I realize some of you do not care . You are just going to do what you do. OK fine u til your favorite go to stops being your favorite go to or becomes less accommodating.

I hadn't found one myself, why I am not a regular there, others may be able to help.

The insured individual received the massage at the location listed, so he did not commit fraud. So we're in the clear. If the RMT sold their name, then they did. However, unless somebody confesses, or two massages took place at the same time at different locations, then the crime is virtually undetectable.

Undetectable or not, the insurance companies are putting lots of information together and sharing it. As a result most of the shops and home based shops in Calgary that rely very much on insurance driven business do not provide extra curricular stuff anymore. And most will not risk the endless blabbering that goes on many of these boards. Easy place for the insurance companies to pick up hints that they can then pursue.

Using my wife's insurance at most locations. My insurance is sunlife. Hard to find a location to cover this. Now more providers are asking my ID to make sure I use my own insurance. Anyone knows which location can claim sunlife with extras?

This question has been asked before. The answer is NO!

There are no places in Edmonton that offers HE while you make benefits claims ever. Doesn't exist this strange concept you speak or dreamt up in your silly little head.....also referring to one below your waist too. Sheesh!
