I'm about to begin working one day a week at a physical therapy clinic in Apalachicola, a small town on Florida's northern Gulf Coast. When the owner told me that I need to "go easy" on my first client because she is EXTREMELY sensitive to touch, and on my 2nd client, also hypersensitive to touch (struck by lightning a couple months ago), I immediately told him that both of these people are PERFECT candidates for Quantum-Touch.

Well, he popped that bubble immediately. He explained that if his patients go out and tell everyone that they're receiving energy healing, but he's billing their insurance for massage, his competition will report him to the insurance companies, thereby jeopardizing his reputation and his business.

So, exactly as it was in a small Georgia town (where the hospital administrators didn't believe in energy healing), I'll be working at a clinic knowing the remarkable possibilities of Quantum-Touch, while being tethered to "massage only".

I'm wondering if anyone has worked in a professional office setting where QT was practiced, and how the patient's insurance was billed for the session. I would love to share your experience with the owner so I can joyfully practice, and he can legally bill insurance for, Quantum-Touch.

I'm also wondering if this situation is limited to small towns - towns so small they have a place called "Fred's Hospital and Grill" (for example ).

Rick...

We used to drive to take our kids to a chiropractor practicing in Pennsylvania monthly... yes, we drove from Northern Virginia all the way to Pennsylvania! He came highly recommended and was very good.

Very little of the work done was chiropractic adjustment. The bulk of it was NMT (Feinberg Technique), NET, and other modalities that do not fall within the sphere of straight chiropractic.

At the time, we carried a high level PPO insurance package, but the work he did was not billable to the insurance, just as you're saying is the case there with QT in the PT office. I'd imagine this is the case because, aside from seeking reasons to limit pay-out, insurance companies generally don't trust that which is not scientifically measured and proven in the mainstream. Many "fringe" or "experimental" processes aren't accepted until they're fully blessed by the MD's.

My wife's uncle practiced the same sort of alternative medicine techniques and found the same. It made it difficult in his practice because people would have to pay out of pocket and, as you'd imagine, there were some who couldn't afford it and some who weren't willing to try it without someone else paying the bill. He was very good and I understand that this was the main obstacle he faced.

Both of the above were in Pennsylvania, though I'd imagine that insurance company standards on what they'll accept for billing are pretty much the same.

But, perhaps someone knows a legal/ethical workaround? I'm sure my wife's uncle would love to hear it, too!

I've often wondered if there's a type of health savings account type plan that people could purchase aside from normal insurance. Anyone aware of one that might have more open acceptance???
