How can a fitness professional become recognized by health insurance companies as an approved provider?
Hi Justin. Aside from the excellent answers that you’ve already received here, another option would be to go straight to the source! Contact the insurer that you are interested in and find out if they are allowing ‘ancillary healthcare providers’ into their network. Today, the movement is toward allowing other providers such as massage therapists etc into some of the insurance company networks, so simply asking them the question may be your best, and most direct route.
Good luck!
