As the end of the year approaches, many Calgarians realize they have unused extended health benefits sitting in their insurance accounts. Whether covered through employer health plans or personal insurance, these funds provide a direct opportunity to invest in your physical health, stress relief, and chronic pain recovery.
At Hayahay Massage & Wellness, we take the hassle out of insurance claims by offering seamless, on-site direct billing for massage therapy in Calgary. Our administrative team submits your claims instantly during your appointment so you can focus entirely on your recovery without paying out of pocket upfront.
What Is Direct Billing and How Does It Work?
Direct billing allows our clinic to submit your treatment invoices directly to your extended healthcare provider on your behalf.
Rather than paying the full appointment cost upfront and waiting weeks for reimbursement, your insurance policy is processed in real-time. You only cover the remaining balance (copay or deductible) if your plan does not provide 100% coverage.

Specialized Treatments Eligible for Direct Billing
Many clients assume only standard relaxation massages qualify for insurance coverage. However, because our treatments are administered by fully certified 2,200-hour Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) and Registered Acupuncturists (R.Ac), several specialized clinical services qualify under extended health benefits:
1. Deep Tissue & Chronic Pain Management
Relieve persistent muscle knots, postural fatigue, and sports injuries with deep tissue massage in Calgary.
2. Pregnancy & Maternal Care
Expectant mothers can safely treat lower back strain and sciatic nerve pressure through certified prenatal massage in Calgary.
3. Traditional Fire Cupping Therapy
Decompress rigid fascial layers and flush out deep-seated inflammation by booking traditional fire cupping in Calgary alongside your RMT session.
4. Registered Acupuncture Therapy
Target stubborn sciatica, migraine frequency, and stress regulation at our registered acupuncture clinic in Calgary.
