Can medicaid pay for medical massage therapy under any circumstances?

Dr. Edison Wong answered

Specializes in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine

Unlikely/rare: It depends on your state medicaid regulations. The only condition likely to get paid for that is for lymphedema treatment because treatment effects are objectively measurable.
