Do you direct bill?

I am able to direct bill to Manitoba Blue Cross and providers that work with Telus Health, including Manulife, Canada Life, GroupHealth and 25 other insurers. This complimentary service add-on is available to those who can provide: 

• name of insured member, policy and group numbers 

• complete date of birth DD/MM/YYYY

• info regarding spouse if applicable (name, birthday)

• notice of a prescription for massage, if required.

You are responsible for knowing your third-party coverage and for paying any balance of fees in full on any services rendered, or should direct billing not be possible for any reason.  Please email rmt.bernie@gmail.com to inquire about direct billing and be ready to provide all necessary information. 

Where direct billing is not possible, I will provide a receipt that allows you to claim with your insurance provider for massage therapy benefits.

What is your preferred payment method?

E-transfer to rmt.bernie@gmail.com or cash payment are my preferred payment methods, to reduce costly processing fees. Did you know using a credit card costs the vendor between $3-5 per transaction? To keep massage services prices from rising, I suggest sending e-transfers as opposed to using credit cards. 

Payment by card  is accepted in person. A $5 surcharge will be applied for Square payments.

Square accepts : Debit, Mastercard, Visa, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay.

Can I claim your service for acupuncture?

No. I am a Registered Massage Therapist providing certified acupuncture as a healing modality. I am not a TCM acupuncturist. I cannot be claimed under the category 'Acupuncture' as a service provider. Your claim can be made under Massage even if we use acupuncture needles in session.

Where exactly is your clinic?

I am inside the Kremer building at 301 Nassau, unit 103B, on ground level. 

There is a seating area directly outside my office. I may be indisposed with another session in treatment, kindly wait until you are greeted. Do not knock.

Locked gender neutral washrooms are located beyond the waiting area. I will assist you with entry.

​

2 hour street parking can be found on nearby Pembina, Warsaw, Jessie, Fleet and Mulvey Ave. 

Bus stop service for route 60, 66 right outside.

How do I know which treatment to book?
