steps to take
Neighborhood must receive and approve a Prior Authorization request from your physician before you can schedule your first massage with us.
1. If your physician isn't familiar with your pain condition, pay them a visit so they can accurately diagnose your pain. 2. Have your physician fill out the Prior Authorization form (we've filled it out partially and you can download it below). It must include a diagnosis code, as well as a procedure code. There are two procedure codes for massage therapy: 97124 massage therapy, and 97140 manual therapy. 3. Your physician must send the completed form, plus supporting clinical notes, to Neighborhood Health Plan. 4. Neighborhood can take up to 2 weeks to approve your authorization, at which point they fax us the approval. 5. When we get the approval, we will call you to get you scheduled. Do not schedule your massage prior to your approval.
