VA Massage Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about VA-covered medical massage and referral process.
You must be enrolled in VA health care and eligible for Community Care. Qualification depends on clinical need, distance, or wait times. Contact your VA primary care provider or the VA Community Care office to verify eligibility and request a referral.
Schedule an appointment with your VA primary care provider, discuss Medical Massage Therapy, and request a referral naming The Mind Body Experience in Raeford, NC. If medically necessary, your provider submits the referral to VA Community Care for approval and authorization.
Approvals vary, but a typical VA Community Care referral often authorizes up to 12 visits per referral. Your VA provider determines medical necessity; contact the VA Community Care office or your provider to confirm the exact number authorized for your case.
The VA Community Care office or third-party administrator will contact you to explain benefits, confirm eligibility, and schedule appointments. They will fax the authorization to our office; once received we'll reach out to arrange your sessions and provide intake instructions.
Call or text The Mind Body Experience at 910-638-7297, Monday–Thursday 10am–4pm. If we've received the VA fax, we'll contact you to schedule. You can also notify your VA contact to confirm scheduling through community care coordinators.
